Hosted by Laura Cathcart Robbins, a writer and a recovery thriver and survivor, Laura found herself in an all too familiar position. In September 2018, she was the only black woman in the room at Brave Magic, a famed writer’s retreat. After it was over, she wrote about her “only one” experience in The Huffington Post and comments started flooding into her DM. These comments were from people from all races, ethnicities, creeds, and nationalities who had felt “othered”. Laura beautifully inter ...

Ep 143: Farzana Doctor - Female Genital Mutilation (FGM) Survivor
Manage episode 277743186 series 2090488

Female genital mutilation (FGM) is a term that makes my skin crawl to even say it. However, it's practiced in over 92 countries, and even until the 1970s, health insurance in the United States covered female circumcision.
These are facts I learned from Farzana Doctor, an FGM survivor and now Activist, Psychotherapist, and Writer. Her latest book, Seven, is a rich, soulfully written novel about inheritance and resistance that tests the balance between modern and traditional customs.
This episode is full of learning about FGM, the Dawoodi Bohra community, and how patriarchy continues to be propagated by women. This is a nuanced conversation and I invite you to take a keen listen to this one.
