41: Dr Nisreen Alwan, MBE

Dr Nisreen was born and raised in Iraq and lived through two different wars. She lived in a world where speaking up wasn't as easy and she understands the value of freedom of speech. This is why she uses her platform to empower, educate, and speak truth to power. Dr Nisreen was honoured with an MBE and also listed in BBC's top 100 women of 2020 for all her research and dedication during the pandemic.  We talk about her childhood, navigating negative comments on social media and the world she hopes to see in the future.

Om Podcasten

Thank you for joining me on this podcast! My name is Dr Meenal Viz and I'm an NHS doctor and activist. My love for sharing stories and using that as a medium to help people is one that brings me a lot of joy and it all ties in with the one dream I had as a child - to serve the global community. During the COVID-19 pandemic, I campaigned for the protection of healthcare workers and was recognized internationally for my activism and campaigning. Through this podcast, I speak to the greatest thinkers of our generation. Each and every one of us has the potential to create change - I hope this podcast brings you the ray of hope you've been looking for.
