Sahar Speaks II

The first Sahar Speaks visual journalism workshop and training for Afghan female journalists came to a close.

I'm grateful to have had the opportunity to teach this group of young local reporters over the last two weeks in Kabul, Afghanistan. 

They turned out to be a very talented new generation of photographers, videographers and documentary makers, eager to tell the stories that matter in their own country.

I can't wait to see the work they'll produce in the near future.
