We often talk about the many different ways in which to empower girls and women around the world: more education, better health, better nutrition; voting rights. But what if the future of women could be changed by something as technical as coding or computer programming? This is exactly the solution that this episode's guest, Fereshteh Forough, came up with as she struggled with her own experiences of growing up as an Afghani refugee in Iran. When Fereshteh became an accidental and somewhat reluctant computer science student, she came to realize that the key to empowering Afghani women perhaps lay in technology, helping them learn and become financially independent. Through her work and her organization Code to Inspire, Fereshteh is an inspiration and global ambassador for girls and women all over the world. She has been a TED speaker; a Clinton Global Initiative speaker; and been named a "revolutionary" by Marie Claire magazine in their 2016 first-ever Young Women's Honors. Fereshteh earned her Bachelor's in Computer Science and later her Master's from Technical University of Berlin in Germany. She taught as a professor at the Computer Science faculty of Herat University for almost three years and in 2015 founded the first coding school for girls in Herat. Episode Themes: Fereshteh's early experiences of being a refugee and how her family lost--and eventually regained--access to education Fereshteh's accidental journey of studying computer science in Afghanistan and as an international student in Germany, and how studying abroad influenced her thinking and her work Why and how coding and computer programming can empower women around the world The role of Bitcoin and crypto currency in providing financial freedom for women and ensuring digital citizenship The important lessons Fereshteh has learned In the seven years since she founded Code to Inspire, and how the journey has affected her personally and professionally, and especially as a woman Fereshteh's "wish-list" for how funders and others can support Code to Inspire Resources from this episode: Fereshteh's 2013 TED talk Donate to and support Code to Inspire Connect with Fereshteh: Twitter, LinkedIn Girls Who Code Other Resources: My book: America Calling: A Foreign Student in a Country of Possibility Newsletter sign-up: www.rajikabhandari.com LinkedIn: @rajikabhandari Twitter: @rajikabhandari Instagram: @rajika_bhandari

All of them from different countries; Finland, Czech Republic, USA, Canada, Germany, don't worry this isn't going to be a depressing talk, in fact the reoccurring theme is, ONENESS OF HUMANITY. Every country is struggling, BUT people from different communities see how important it is, now then ever before, to be there for each other and help the ones in need. Show gratitude and praise the people that work hard and restless in the front lines. All of us believe that, this too shall pass, and that we as mankind will come out stronger.

Fereshteh Toosi is an artist of Iranian and Azeri ancestry whose work involves embodied experiences, encounter, exchange, and sensory inquiry. We discuss her body of work, including her current project Water Radio: Liquid Intelligence and latest initiative and O, Miami collaboration Reading Camp. Themes that emerge in our discussion include deep listening, the importance of “tuning into” our environments, shared experiences, modes of communication with nature that are beyond the language of words, wonder, imagination and more.This conversation is one of four interviews, recorded with Orchid.fm, profiling Mana Contemporary artists at 777 Mall during Miami Art Week 2019.

Our guest, Fereshteh Forough, is the CEO and Founder of Code to Inspire, a coding school for girls in Afghanistan that has already transformed the lives of 150+ women. We discuss how the school works and the amazing life-changing impact it has had for these girls and their community. We then talked about Fereshteh’s fascinating origin story, her experiences and challenges of being a refugee, facing discrimination and needing to constantly hide her true identity, and what psychological impacts this left on her. But despite all of the changes and roadblocks she’s faced, she’s learned to open her mind, accept the various cultures that have been a part of her life, and incorporate them into her company. By embracing all of these diverse beliefs, experiences, struggles, and successes into her being, she has both redefined what “home” means to her and interwoven every piece of diversity into her company.Memorable QuotesCode to Inspire"Not a lot of people believed in us. They thought, oh it's just a short term project for a couple months. But we've been in this space for four years and we've proved that we're not here for short term. After the first six months, we actually had a father and brother of one of the girls who wanted to come check out the space because they saw such a difference in their daughter."Being a refugee"The negativity around being a refugee I think is something that a lot of people first think about refugees. That you come to one city to steal the opportunity from people to get the jobs. To my perspective as a real refugee, it's not something the refugees are doing. It's a beauty of diversity and in differences and people helping the community to thrive and grow. To me that's the beauty of the refugees going somewhere and introducing their cultures to other people and learn from other's culture."Resources & LinksYou can see more of Baktash Ahadi's work here.Follow Baktash Ahadi on Instagram here.Keep updated on the latest episodes of "Stories of Transformation” here.Want to connect with Fereshteh?

Fereshteh Forough is the founder & CEO of Code to Inspire, an award winning organization that is empowering Afghan girls by teaching them how to code. Fereshteh was a TED speaker on digital literacy & communication without borders in 2013. Code To Inspire was awarded a Google Rise Award for their work & she was recently featured in a “change is made with code” campaign linked on the Google homepage in Sep 2016.   In this incredibly raw conversation, we discuss everything from growing up as a refugee in Iran, to her struggles overcoming gender bias in Afghanistan, to what it took to set up Code To Inspire. We discuss why she thinks girls aren’t encouraged to go into technical fields like coding & what we can do to change that.    5 things to listen out for:   (1) Growing up - as a refugee in Iran & what it was like to return home to Afghanistan after the Taliban rule where female students made up 0% of the population.    (2) Getting into computer science by accident - why she hated it at first and the story behind how she ended up becoming a computer science professor.    (3) Unique challenges of setting up in Afghanistan - overcoming growing up with only 3hrs of electricity per day, dealing with gender bias & the cultural stigma attached to women in the work place.   (4) Embracing negativity to motivate yourself - how she uses negative comments to fuel her mission!   (5) Women in technology - why she thinks there are less females in technical fields & what we can do about it.   This conversation reminded me how much I take for granted & I hope it does for you too!     Time Stamps: What does Fereshteh (her name) mean?
