Welcome to the first episode of the Awaz Podcast! In this launch episode, host Mena Ayazi is joined by Saji Prelis, a passionate advocate for peace and social justice. Together, they address a critical yet often overlooked topic: the necessity of decentering narratives that originate from the Global North while amplifying the voices of the Global South.

Saji shares his valuable insights from years of working on the front lines of social change, illuminating the unique experiences and challenges faced by communities in the Global South. This conversation delves into the power of grassroots movements, the importance of storytelling, and how uplifting these voices can shift global perspectives on conflict and resilience.

Join us as we explore how centering these narratives -- ethically -- can foster understanding and drive meaningful change in our world. Whether you're a seasoned advocate or new to these discussions, this episode will inspire you to consider the diverse stories that shape our understanding of peace and justice.

Tune in for an engaging conversation that sets the stage for the new Awaz Podcast!
