Healing drawn: from medicine to art

Sofiia Season 1 Episode 56

You’ve been banned from attending university after completing your first year of medical school—the dream you’ve nurtured for so long. The vision of establishing a medical foundation in your late father's name now feels more distant than ever. Searching for a sense of purpose, you explore online coding courses, but how do you find a way to stay hopeful and at peace with yourself?

For Rohina, a 22-year-old from Afghanistan, the answer was art therapy. First as a student, then as a teacher, she discovered a way to process her emotions, support others, and, in an unexpected way, maintain a connection to medicine.

Join us as we dive into Rohina’s journey of self-discovery, resilience, and defiance— and how she’s reclaiming her future despite the Taliban’s attempts to take it away.
