"Soeya Min"

ah nah

Suzanne and Ruth are joined by Soeya Min, an Entertainment Artist Manager and host of the popular ‘Opinions and Thoughts’ podcast from Myanmar. Soeya, like so many people in Myanmar, has found his life completely upended since the coup in February. No longer able to do his work, he decided to try to do something productive amid the current crisis by retraining as a mental health professional. Here he talks about the impact the coup has had on his life, the importance of a healthy mind and body, the helplessness people who are not in a position to join the PDFs feel, and how he believes keeping the spirit of the revolution in your heart and helping however you can will be key to victory in the battle to regain Myanmar.

The ah nah: Conversations with Myanmar podcast was born from a desire to bring into public consciousness the atrocities that are currently being committed in Myanmar (also known as Burma). Our goal is simply to keep the conversation going, and to let the people of Myanmar know that they have not been forgotten. You can continue to support the people of Myanmar by keeping this conversation going. You can subscribe to this podcast on all major podcasting apps, including Apple, Spotify and Acast.

Song: Kabar Makyay Bu (Until the End of the World), was written and recorded by Naing Myanmar, it became the revolutionary anthem of the 1988 pro-democracy movement and could be heard once again all over Myanmar during the 2021 Coup. Naing Myanmar maintains that the song is no longer his, since the '88 uprising “it belongs to everyone”.
