Daughters of Dust

This Naw Ruz we immersed ourselves in editing the pilot of our podcast. Our preview is an inter-generational conversation about our friends’ and families’ journeys to Southern Africa, the complexity of return, and how this informs what Naw Ruz means to us.

Today, we celebrated Naw Ruz in Johannesburg, South Africa. In the 90s, my family celebrated it in Lilongwe, Malawi. Here, we are in my aunt’s back garden, content with our new year gifts and each other’s company. 

We’re gearing up for our Naw Ruz launch - have a read about the significance of the Persian New Year so you can be prepared too ;)
