In this deeply moving episode of Unmasking Humanity, Joshua T. Berglan connects with Nahid Salami, an 18-year-old changemaker joining from Kabul, Afghanistan. Nahid shares her harrowing yet inspiring journey of teaching herself English on YouTube after her world was turned upside down in 2021, eventually launching a nonprofit that now educates hundreds of Afghan girls in coding and languages.

She challenges the global community to move beyond words and take action, sharing a "hidden piece of her heart" regarding the world's failure to support Afghan girls. This conversation is a testament to the unstoppable power of knowledge and the courage of one young woman determined to rewrite the future for her generation.
