Sara Barackzay, Afghanistan's first female animator, began her journey in Herat, where she discovered her love for animation and art. Despite facing threats from groups like the Taliban, who opposed her work, she remained committed to her passion. Forced to leave Afghanistan, Sara never gave up on her mission to inspire others. In her conversation with HerStory's NexusTalk, she shares her story, from her early years with a paintbrush to using art as a tool for storytelling and advocating for a future where Afghan women can freely express themselves.
