Podcasts about Sonita

Sonita Alizadeh is an award-winning Afghan rapper, activist, and now published author who's using her voice—through rap and writing—to fight one of the world's most overlooked human rights issues: child marriage. In this unforgettable episode, Ami sits down with Sonita to talk about her extraordinary journey from nearly being sold into marriage twice to becoming a globally recognized artist and advocate whose music and message are transforming lives.With humility and quiet intensity, Sonita opens up about what it was like growing up as an undocumented refugee in Iran, where she wasn't allowed to attend school or even ask for basic rights. She shares how she discovered rap—thanks to Eminem—and how it gave her a way to tell the truth no one else was saying. Her breakout song, Daughters for Sale, was more than viral—it was revolutionary. It not only saved her from marriage but inspired other girls to fight for their freedom too.From the pain of being separated from loved ones, to the slow transformation of her mother—from someone trying to arrange her marriage to someone who now supports her music—Sonita's story is both heartbreaking and full of hope. They also talk about Sonita's new memoir Sonita, her Rhodes Scholarship to Oxford, and her plans to work in immigration and refugee advocacy to create long-term change.From half-bruised faces in music videos to dreams of one day performing in Afghanistan, this episode is a powerful reminder of the resilience it takes to rewrite your destiny—and how one voice can ignite a movement. Reunited in Canada: Sonita shares what it's like living in Toronto with her family, including reflections on Afghan birth records, her sister's undocumented age, and how being together again brings healing. (2:09)Escaping the Taliban—And Losing Her Rights in Iran: Sonita recalls fleeing Afghanistan only to face discrimination and exclusion in Iran as an undocumented refugee, including being denied access to education. (5:17)Why Her Mother Tried to Sell Her: Sonita explains her mother's heartbreaking reasoning for arranging her marriage—how generational trauma, poverty, and cultural norms shaped that decision. (8:14)How Her Family Learned to Love Her Music: From secret recordings to hearing her rap on Afghan national TV, Sonita shares how her family slowly began supporting her artistry—culminating in her mother asking her to write a song for a murdered woman named Farkhunda. (11:00)Discovering Rap in a Gym—and Why She Chose It Over Pop: Inspired by Eminem's rage-filled lyrics, Sonita explains why rap gave her the emotional outlet she needed to tell stories of child labor, child marriage, and injustice. (15:29)Going Viral, Getting Out: Her song Daughters for Sale went viral—terrifying and liberating her. It caught the attention of a U.S. NGO, which helped her secure a scholarship to study in America. (18:31)Freedom, Isolation, and Cheeseburgers: Sonita recounts her first experiences in the U.S.—from language barriers and loneliness to bike rides, fast food, and studio time that finally gave her space to heal. (22:03)From Rap to Rhodes: Her Education Journey: Sonita talks about graduating from Bard College with a double major in music and human rights, and her next chapter: studying forced migration at Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar. (25:04)Why She Wrote Her Memoir—And What's Inside: She shares how her memoir Sonita was born out of a classroom assignment, why she includes music and photos, and how it tells not just her story, but the story of millions of Afghan girls. (26:50)Q&A With Kids—and a Dream to Return Home: In a heartwarming moment, Ami's daughters ask Sonita about her biggest inspiration, her future goals, and her biggest pet peeve (“Telling her story again and again—and seeing no change”).

durée : 00:04:48 - La BO du monde - La jeune rappeuse afghane exilée aux Etats-Unis s'est rendue célèbre pour son engagement contre les mariages précoces et pour la liberté des femmes. Elle est invitée cette semaine à se produire en Normandie pour les 80 ans du D-Day.

L'émission 28 Minutes du 17/04/2024 Elle a échappé à deux mariages forcés en Afghanistan "L'art peut être la plus puissante des armes que les talibans n'auront jamais. Donc, ceux qui doivent avoir peur, ce ne sont pas les artistes afghans, ce sont les talibans." Sonita Alizada naît en 1996 à Hérat, en Afghanistan. À l'âge de dix ans, elle échappe à un premier mariage forcé et quitte son pays avec sa famille pour fuir les talibans. Arrivée en Iran, la jeune fille connaît "la fragilité d'une vie de réfugiés, sans papiers, les discriminations, la solitude, le rejet", jusqu'à ce que par hasard, à quatorze ans, elle découvre le rap en entendant une chanson d'Eminem. En 2014, sa mère tente de la ramener en Afghanistan pour un second mariage forcé. C'est Rokhsareh Ghaem Maghami, réalisatrice qui l'aidera à l'éviter en payant pour sa liberté. En 2015, elles tournent le clip de "Brides for Sale", morceau qui dénonce cette tradition du mariage forcé des jeunes filles. Repérée par l'association StrongHeart, elle part finalement étudier le droit aux États-Unis. Lauréate du Prix Liberté en 2021, elle chantera son morceau "Stand Up" en juin prochain sur la scène du Zénith de Caen, à l'occasion de de la remise du Prix Liberté 2024.  La France saura-t-elle relever tous les défis des JO ? Le compte à rebours est lancé : plus que cent jours avant la cérémonie d'ouverture des Jeux olympiques, prévue le vendredi 26 juillet. Si celle-ci doit se dérouler sur la Seine, Emmanuel Macron a toutefois confirmé l'hypothèse de festivités limitées au Trocadéro, voire au Stade de France dans le cas d'une menace terroriste trop forte. Il faut dire que les défis qui entourent les JO sont nombreux : sécurité des différents sites, efficacité des transports, offre de logements… Le tout sur un fond de tension sociale et d'un certain manque d'enthousiasme de la part des Français. Alors que l'heure est aux derniers préparatifs, quel visage la France présentera-t-elle au monde pendant la période des JO ? Quels sont les enjeux ? On en débat.  Enfin, retrouvez également les chroniques de Xavier Mauduit et Marie Bonnisseau !  28 Minutes est le magazine d'actualité d'ARTE, présenté par Elisabeth Quin du lundi au jeudi à 20h05. Renaud Dély est aux commandes de l'émission le vendredi et le samedi. Ce podcast est coproduit par KM et ARTE Radio.  Enregistrement : 17 avril 2024 - Présentation : Renaud Dély - Production : KM, ARTE Radio

In today's episode we speak with filmmaker Sonita Gale, about her award-winning documentary film Hostile.    Sonita tells us how Britain's "hostile environment" stretches much further back than 2012, when then home secretary Theresa May coined the term, and is rooted in the British Empire.    We hear how successive governments — both Labour and Conservative — have created an inhumane system for migrants and refugees in the UK and how this has affected the people in her film.    She also tells us how these dehumanising policies lead to the Windrush Scandal, and how they link with the NHS crisis, workers' rights, poverty, and the government's anti-protest laws.     ---Get in touch--- Twitter: @FleetCivil Mastodon: @civilfleet@kolektiva.social info@civilfleet.com civilfleet.com   Support:  ko-fi.com/civilfleet   ---Show Notes---   For more on Sonita Gale's documentary, see here: hostiledocumentary.com   If you're in the UK, you can watch the film online here: tinyurl.com/569sfdd7   If you're outside the UK, then check here for more information on how to watch it: https://www.hostiledocumentary.com/watch-the-film/    See the trailer for Hostile here: tinyurl.com/34me88cv    You can follow Hostile on Twitter here: @hostiledoc   And follow Hostile on Instagram here: instagram.com/hostiledoc   For anyone outside the UK that doesn't know what the Home Office is, it is similar to the Ministry of the Interior in much of Europe, or the Department for Homeland Security in the US.    The head of the UK Home Office (called the Home Secretary) is Suella Braverman. Before her, it was Priti Patel. Both are mentioned in the podcast.    Liz Truss, Boris Johnson, Theresa May and David Cameron were all former Conservative Prime Ministers. Members of the Conservative party are often referred to as Tories, and the party as The Tory Party.    Theresa May was the Home Secretary in 2012. She coined the term Hostile Environment in 2012. You can read more about that, and the 10-year anniversary of it, here: tinyurl.com/4aynzkbz     Ben and Sonita mention Enoch Powell and his Rivers of Blood speech. You can read more about him and his infamous speech here: tinyurl.com/mtt3pcdf   Here's a good explanation of the Police, Crime and Sentencing Bill and why it is so dangerous by the human rights organisation Liberty: tinyurl.com/ktwxcxtw     For more on the No Recourse to Public Funds (NRPF) policy, see the NRPF Network, here: tinyurl.com/yc6rj3x9   Here is a good explanation of the Windrush Scandal by the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants: tinyurl.com/t6stcvnx    The Noam Chomsky quote at the end of the film is this: "As long as the general population is passive, apathetic, diverted to consumerism or hatred of the vulnerable, then the powerful can do as they please, and those who survive will be left to contemplate the outcome.”   The Chomsky quote that Ben (mis)quotes (again!) is this: “If you assume that there's no hope, you guarantee there will be no hope. If you assume that there is an instinct for freedom, there are opportunities to change things.”

Sonita Lontoh has been an entrepreneur as well as an executive with several large companies including HP and Siemens, and serves on corporate boards. Her advice to women is to be patient and realize their career journeys are long and moves may not be linear. Sonita's leadership style has changed over her career and she says that while she has always had a technology-focused approach, she has become more customer-focused. Sonita urges companies to truly integrate their female employee resource groups with more involvement by the company CEOs and the corporate boards which will lead to more opportunities for women.

Sonita Henry's filmography would make for one hell of a marathon on SyFy. Sonita played the President's Aide in The Fifth Element, present in that iconic final scene where Milla Jovovich's Leeloo and Bruce Willis' Korben get it on in the regeneration chamber. She was the doctor who delivers James T. Kirk in the heart-stopping opening minutes of 2009's Star Trek. She portrayed a colonel (who's transformed into a Dalek) in the 2013 Doctor Who Christmas special. And she was the archetype of every female villainess when she played Medea in the Vancouver-shot Olympus. Sonita's credit list also includes a wealth of nuanced performances in top-tier British television, including Luther, Father Brown, and Midsomer Murders, and a leading role as a brilliant investigator (and insecure new mum) in The Chelsea Detective. In the season-opener of the YVR Screen Scene Podcast – recorded during Sonita's recent visit to Vancouver – Sonita lays out her origin story, which includes driving across America with only a 45-minute driving test under her belt, navigating ethnic ambiguity and a sometimes unfriendly industry, the home she found in the science fiction realm, and why her upcoming role in Black Cake is a new career highlight (and not just because one of her bosses is Oprah Winfrey). Stick around until the end for a special appearance by none other than the Grand Empress of Sci-Fi. Episode sponsors: The Drama Class + Biz Books

My name is Sonita. I'm a 23 year old of Indian and Jamaican heritage. Music is one of my many goals. My main goal is to change my life. I am a singer/songwriter living in North London. I started singing at the age of 5 and would perform at school concerts up until I finished sixth form. I had no clue where to go from there. That's when my journey really began. Being inspired by musicals, specifically ‘In the Heights', I so badly wanted to find my voice in 2021 and began training with City Academy. Once that ended I auditioned to train with the West End Musical Theatre school and managed to secure myself half a scholarship. There are many artists that inspire me but the main ones are Jazmine Sullivan, Demi Lovato and Leona Lewis.

Sonita Alizadeh è una giovane ragazza afghana, che come molti suoi concittadini è costretta a scappare dal suo paese di origine per cercare di sopravvivere. Ma anche una volta a Teheran le cose non vanno meglio. Tra censure e spose in vendita Sonita cerca di far risuonare la sua voce, ma al governo risulta illegale.

Edurne Baz nos acerca la figura de esta joven rapera y activista afgana que ha alzado su voz contra la venta de niñas en enlaces concertados. Cuando era solo una niña tuvo que hacer frente a un episodio tristemente común en el país: sus padres planeaban para ella un matrimonio concertado. Por fortuna, este enlace no llegó a producirse porque su familia se vio obligada a abandonar Afganistán huyendo de la guerra. Pero al cumplir los 16 años fue de nuevo reclamada como futura esposa de un hombre mucho más mayor. Logró, de nuevo, esquivar este triste destino.

It starts with unauthorised migrants and doesn't end there. Filmmaker Sonita Gale follows professionals, students and British citizens whose lives were upended by the UK's immigration system.Sonita Gale is the director and executive producer of Hostile, a documentary film about the UK hostile environment, now in cinemas.  Show notes[00:00:09] Intro[00:03:54] "The home of my parents is the home of the migrant story."[00:07:29] "A film about the migrant struggle"[00:13:08] "Different experiences, all interlinked by the hostile environment"[00:16:27] "People will start having more empathy, love and understanding"[00:21:04] "Where have you been the last 20 years?"[00:28:30] “I started to question whether that hostile environment is going to turn on me”[00:32:10] Where to see the film[00:33:21] Outro

Pojem »prekarnost« označuje negotovo, začasno, občasno (in v praksi pogosto tudi slabo plačano) delovno aktivnost. Izvira iz latinske besede precarius, ki je prvotno označevala 'izprošen, priberačen, začasen, odvisen od volje drugega', kasneje pa 'nestalen, negotov, prehoden'. Prav o prekarnem delu je tekla beseda v studiu Radia You're Up v GT22 tokrat in to med tremi prekarci in prekarko: - raziskovalko in psihologinjo Evo Matjaž iz Kreativnega centra Poligon, ki že drugo leto izvaja raziskavo stanja v kulturno-kreativnem sektorju; - študentom Timotejem Kresnikom, soustvarjalcem projekta Organizirajmo se, združimo se!, ki je skozi metodo gledališča zatiranih združil skupino mladih prekarnih delavcev in delavk ter se bo z zaključnim dogodkom sklenil to soboto, 19. marca od 15. ure naprej v GT22; - tonskim in tehničnim mojstrom Boštjanom Erženom; - in v kulturi samozaposlenim moderatorjem Žigo Brdnikom. Hudomušen naslov in obilico vpogleda v stanje kulturno-kreativnega sektorja je prispevala Eva, ki od petka, 18. marca naprej vabi tudi na četrto etapo raziskave na: https://www.poligon.si/ Timotej je prispeval uvide mlade generacije, ki nas bo, kot smo ugotavljali preostali, verjetno enkrat zaposlil, mi pa mu moramo pomagati, da s svojo generacijo zasede odločevalske položaje. Zaenkrat vabi v soboto ob 15. uri v GT22 na delavnico časopisnega gledališča, ob 18. uri na forumsko predstavo Cesta prekarskih brigad in ob 20. uri na otvoritev fotografske razstave Amadeja Canjuge. Več na: https://gt22.si/organizirajmo-se-zdruzimo-se/ Fotografijo pa je prispevala iranska filmarka Rokhsareh Ghaemmaghami s filmom Sonita. Dodatne zahvale gredo: skupnosti GT22 za vso podporo, Erasmus+ in Evropski solidarnostni enoti za sofinanciranje projekta, Pekarni Magdalenske mreže za soorganizacijo, Centru za kreativnost za financiranje raziskav Poligona in Radiu MARŠ za predvajanje tega podcasta na radijskih valovih.

Felicity Beckett talks to director Sonita Gale about her new film, Hostile.  Hostile is a feature-length documentary focusing on the UK's complicated relationship with its migrant communities. Told through the stories of four participants from Black and Asian backgrounds, the film focuses on the impact of the evolving ‘hostile environment' policies that target migrants. The film explores how the lives of international students, members of the Windrush generation, and ‘Highly-Skilled Migrants' have been affected. What does it mean to be British? What does it feel like to be told you don't belong? With Brexit, the Points Based Immigration System and the Borders and Nationality Bill taking effect, the film asks: once the ‘hostile environment' has targeted all migrants, who will it extend to next? This film seeks to hear these voices and inspire viewers to take action to create long-term change.
