What hurdles do survivors face when trying to heal from their past?
How does leaving your home country shape your journey toward finding peace and purpose?
In this episode, we speak to Hazara-Brit Roh Yakobi, a UK-based activist and journalist who escaped Afghanistan as a child after being tortured by the Taliban. Roh, now standing as a Labour Party candidate in Shrewsbury, shares his story of survival, from his persecution as part of the Hazara minority to his search for inner peace after arriving in the UK.
Together, we discuss how political activism has given him a sense of purpose and sanity and explore his battle with depression and PTSD. Roh reflects on how his journey has shaped him and why he’s determined to fight the stigma surrounding mental health in his community.
