Brave Talks - Courageous Conversations

Komal Fatima Rizvi & Tajdar Omer Chaudry

Brave Talks is about exploring what ‘living authentically’ looks like. These conversations are about learning from those who have embarked on journeys of immense courage and pain. It is a conversation with no frills. While leveraging the power of personal storytelling, Brave Talks hopes to normalise conversations about mental health, emotional challenges and personal struggles; topics that carry stigma and shame in our cultures and can often prevent us from seeking help and support. Brave Talks is where human messiness is celebrated by Komal and I; two ordinary people trying to understand what it really means to be a Human, Being.
