Forging Faith

The subject of "religion" may appear in Afghan media, in our homes, and even among friends who are aware of our background. However,  the persistent intrusion of religion in our community does not capture the varying views on faith within the Afghan diaspora. In this episode of Chai Sabz, we welcomed Ms. Homaira Tahmass to join us in a healthy conversation about our views on religion and its role in our own lives. Ms. Tahmass is a student of Psychological Sciences at University of California Irvine and she uses her social media platform to promote mental and physical health, faith, and positivity to her followers.Part of spiritual and personal growth is to ask questions and listen to others perspectives. Since religion is a prevalent aspect of Afghan lives, it is reasonable to want to learn and understand in order to come to a conclusion on our personal beliefs. We hope to inspire such conversations to occur within the Afghan community without conflict or judgment. If you have comments on any of our experiences or want to offer your opinion, feel free to DM us on instagram or email us at [email protected]. Happy listening!
