For this episode we welcomed Zahra Arabzada ’19 to tell her story of her life as a runner, starting in her home country of Afghanistan, and how her advocacy has impacted women in the United States as well as her home. Recounting her reasons for running in hijab in the U.S. and her work to advocate for female sports in Afghanistan. Zahra shares her incredible tale, proving that anyone can be a runner, no matter race, gender, or religious identity. Along the way, Zahra explains how growing up in Afghanistan shaped her desire to become a doctor and how running became a symbol of opportunity rather than just a part of survival.
