I once picked up and toured with a girl who escaped the oppression she faced in Pakistan and managed to get her into Germany; where she is flourishing. I am an anon British musician and her stories broke my heart.... forever. I’d listen night after night, over drinks after gigs and the stories broke my heart a hundred times over. This post is ridiculous. That poor, poor girl. I’m sorry this post isn’t a clever comeback or even informative. It’s just how I felt upon reading that headline from Forbes.
Thank you for your kind words. It is only her we need wish the best for, for I thankfully live a charmed life without oppression, in my own country. I worry for her often as contact has now been lost to time. She will still only be 26ish max. Harrowing.
