Episode 178: Hope & Resiliency Through Traditional Afghan Fashion Design with Lida Mangal

I want Afghani women to know we need them, to have strength & confidence. They’re important, they’re powerful, they’re needed both within Afghanistan and as part of the global community.
— Lida Mangal

Every woman has a story deeper than you know. Today’s guest, Lida Mangal, is a fashion designer based in Sydney, Australia who is using her talents and business to preserve Afghan historical clothing, merge it with modern fashion, and empower women in her home country with jobs they enjoy and are proud of.
