1/2 Started a tradition of 8 days, 8 women on my blog in 2011 (yes blogging was still the thing for me then). From 1-8th March for 3 years, I wrote about women who inspired me. Continuing the tradition on Facebook this year.

Thank you
@ShaharzadAkbar Jan! Likewise, I see you as an inspiration for our youth! The history of struggling for women in#Afg has witnessed so many amazing & heroic icons, my life experience is just a small one in front of them!
