Activist and Advocate of Racial Equity, Mifrah Abid explains the meaning of home. Mifrah challenges my beliefs on home and identity—and if there is one thing I love, it's a conversation that expands my thinking! We discuss our thoughts on nationalism and Mirfah explains the concept of jingoism and how it relates to us now. This is such an important conversation for us to be having; I cannot wait for you to listen to and learn from the stories the Mifrah shares.
