In this powerful episode of Voices of Emergence, we sit down with Samina Vabo Ansari, an Afghan-Norwegian leader, bridge-builder, and ethical technology advocate whose life traverses war zones, forests, UN chambers, and sacred dialogue circles.
Born into the chaos of post-Soviet Afghanistan, raised among Norwegian fjords, and shaped by a deep commitment to belonging, Samina speaks to the heart of what it means to lead from memory, myth, and multiplicity.
Together, we explore the wisdom of the mountains, the scars of patriarchal systems, the manipulation of algorithms, and the sacred work of holding community in collapse.
This conversation is a living circle—a place where ancestral echoes meet modern dilemmas, and where the feminine and masculine are invited back into coherence.
