Welcome to the fourth episode of Open Mic – The Afghan Times Podcast, where we share inspiring stories of resilience, hope, and courage from Afghanistan.
In this episode of Open Mic, we share the inspiring journey of Zohal Noori from Kabul, Afghanistan. Like many Afghan women, Zohal faced immense obstacles in pursuing her education, especially after the Taliban banned women from attending universities in December 2022.
Determined to continue her education, Zohal applied to American universities. Her hard work paid off when she received offers from Lewis University, Nazareth University, and UC Berkeley. She is now pursuing a degree in Law and Political Science while working with some organizations and running two of her own initiatives—”Positive Beliefs” and “Moving Towards Goals with Zahra Noori.” Through her work, she aims to empower Afghan women and girls and help them pursue their dreams.
Zohal’s achievements highlight the importance of persistence and determination. She encourages other Afghan girls to push forward, despite the challenges they face, and offers her guidance to anyone seeking scholarships or support.

Her journey is a powerful reminder that, with patience and effort, success is possible. Zohal’s story is not just her own—it is a message of hope for countless others. Stay tuned for more inspiring stories in future episodes of Open Mic. Email: Info@theafghantimes.com
