I’ve been featured on Rai Italia to share a story I’ve been carrying with me for months: the story of Afghan hairdressers. ✂️
These are women working in hidden salons or improvised rooms, with the hairdryer always ready and the door half closed. Through other women’s hair, they try to keep a small space of freedom open: veils lifted in a hurry, lipsticks passed from hand to hand, mirrors that become windows.
Bringing their faces and voices onto a TV show, even just for a few minutes, matters to me: it means shifting these stories from the margins to the centre, at least for a moment.
Thank you to Rai Italia and Paparazzi for the space and the attention.
And thank you, above all, to the women who opened the door of their salon – and their lives – to me.
