Ep 70 Wolff Peace - Erik Erikson & Nimko Ali: When identity is power: From inner fracture to fearless voice

In this episode of the Wolff Peace series, host Avis Kalfsbeek explores the psychological terrain of identity and violence. Through Erik Erikson’s The Legend of Hitler’s Youth, we confront how early emotional wounds, when left unaddressed, can become the foundation for radical, destructive movements. Paired with the activism of Nimko Ali—a survivor, feminist, and political changemaker—we see how reclaiming identity can become an act of peace. Her fight to end FGM and empower girls challenges systems of control at their core.
