Harnessing our human capacity to rise again, with war correspondent & author Ros Russell

Send us a textHow can we learn from human stories of survival to understand our own capacity to rise again?Rosalind Russell is a journalist & editor whose reporting included the fall of the Taliban in Afghanistan, the war in Iraq & Myanmar’s Saffron Revolution. She’s the author of Burma’s Spring & The End of Where We Begin which won the 2021 Moore Prize for excellence in human rights writing.The End of Where We Begin is about three, young South Sudanese refugees, Veronica, Daniel and Lilian. They are from a young country ripped apart by war. Each has had a different experience and come from different sides of the ethnically-fuelled conflict. But their lives collide in a refugee camp in Uganda, and with the help of the community they build there, and rudimentary counselling, they start to carve out new futures for themselves.Ros gives us a better understanding of people who are part of the global refugee and migration crisis- their needs, desires and motivations as human beings, but also gives us an insight into the strength and resilience within ourselves, the power of the human spirit.She shows us the power of human beings to withstand horrifying circumstances, and with the right support, to be able to rise again. You can find out more about Ros’s work on https://rosrussellauthor.com/And follow her on Instagram @ros_russell Join Lou on LinkedinFollow her @brave_newgirl on Instagram Music by Melody LoopSupport the showBrave New Girls podcast champions women rebel raisers moving mountains for people & the planet.
