12. Free to Run (ft. 3 Afghan Women Runners)

All Episodes

January 24, 2024 • 23 mins

Welcome back to REP. And more specifically – welcome to a guided REP Run. This is a story about what it means to stay in your body, to move through your life experiences, and for the women in this episode, what it really means to be Free. *Our guides for this story are three runners from Afghanistan. It’s been two years since the women in this story have seen each other. Their separation was unexpected as the Taliban took over Afghanistan in 2021, and they were of the lucky few who were able to evacuate. And they have miraculously reunited for the first time in the United States to run the New York City Marathon together. *This chapter of REP is brought to you by Right To Run, the social impact program of the sportswear brand On. Right To Run supports Free to Run, an organization that works to change gender norms in conflict areas by supporting girls and women in leadership and wellness through running. *Transcript + Links:www.ays.media/rep/freetorun*Follow on Instagram:@ays@noor@on@freetorunngo
