This episode features a young woman who has a true passion for youth peacebuilding, Mena Ayazi. Mena is a Youth, Peace and Security Advisor at Search for Common Ground. She's using her career to help improve the relationship between citizens and their governments, particularly focusing on the encouragement of citizen participation in democracy, both in the U.S. and internationally. In this episode, Mena shares where her passion came from, what peacebuilding really looks like, and the challenges she has faced as a Muslim American in a post-9/11 world.
