Raheel Raza | Activism Through Love

from Agents of the Matriarchy Hosted by The 49%

Raheel Raza is an author, journalist, activist, spiritual leader, and Paula's fairy godmother. They first met while making Honor Diaries, and they've been fighting side by side ever since. In this episode of Agents of the Matriarchy, Paula and Raheel talk about growing up in Pakistan, what's happening to women and girls in Afghanistan, and why Raheel stays optimistic after decades of doing this work. Her answer: lead with love, collect the small wins, and remember that courage is the currency of reform. Plus, a rapid-fire round, 50 years of marriage, and what Raheel thinks The 49%'s next film should be.
