Atena Kashani ( 01 Kebab, Roxburgh Park) - thwarted ambition and excellent kebabs.

We continue our Refugee Week series, sharing stories of women who arrived in Australia as refugees. They all seek a true welcome, a pathway to opportunity and the security of a permanent home. Atena Kashani was born in Iran and now lives in Melbourne where she works with her father Vahid at 01 Kebab in Roxburgh Park. Atena isn't allowed to study so she can't pursue her dream of being a lawyer. We talk thwarted ambition and excellent kebabs. https://instagram.com/01kebabs_?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Follow Dirty Linen on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/dirtylinenpodcast Follow Dani Valent https://www.instagram.com/danivalent Follow Rob Locke (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/foodwinedine/ Follow Huck (Executive Producer) https://www.instagram.com/huckstergram/ LISTEN TO OUR OTHER FOOD PODCASTS https://linktr.ee/DeepintheWeedsNetwork Dirty Linen is a food podcast hosted by Australian journalist Dani Valent.
