Meet Farzana, a women’s advocate from Afghanistan. In 2021, Farzana fled her home country for the United States with nothing but her education documents. In Afghanistan, she spent years getting an M.B.A. and later working for the USAID’s biggest women’s empowerment project in the world. Now, she shares her journey of escaping the Taliban and rebuilding a new life as a woman and refugee in the U.S. with Upwardly Global CEO Jina Krause-Vilmar.
