Magdaz｜"I'm Naturally Allergic to Borders" – From the UN Headquarters to the Rwandan Tribunal

In this episode, we sit down with Magdaz, a Mexican international lawyer whose career has taken her from the United Nations Headquarters in New York to the International Criminal Tribunal for Rwanda, and from the frontlines in Afghanistan to the blackouts of Venezuela. Her journey is one of idealism, resilience, and hard-earned wisdom—navigating cultural shocks, gender expectations, secondary trauma, and the slow machinery of international justice. She shares how she learned to protect her own soul while trying to save others, and why she ultimately traded the courtroom for communications without losing sight of her purpose. This is a conversation about borders—geographical, professional, and psychological—and what it takes to cross them without losing yourself.
