From LADbible Stories.

In this episode of Minutes With, we had the pleasure of interviewing activist Zoya Phan, who recalls her struggle for survival under military dictatorship in Burma, the East Asian country also known as Myanmar. Born in the remote jungle, Zoya’s childhood ended the moment she saw a decomposing body floating down the river where her siblings played. Years later, under a brutal regime of ethnic cleansing Zoya and her family were forced to flee as bombs rained down on their home. Despite the ongoing threats to her life and surviving three assassination attempts, Zoya continues to follow in the footsteps of her parents and fight for the freedom of the Karen community and the people of Burma.

Thank you to Zoya Phan for taking part in this episode of Minutes With.
