Welcome back to another episode of The Scrumptious Woman. I'm your host, Juliette Karaman, and today I have the honour of speaking with an extraordinary woman, Taban Shoresh. Taban is not only an OBE recipient but also a genocide survivor who has turned her experiences into a beacon of hope for many. Prepare yourselves for a deeply moving and inspiring conversation.

Episode Summary
In this episode, Taban Shoresh OBE, shares her harrowing yet empowering journey from surviving genocide in Kurdistan to founding The Lotus Flower, a charity dedicated to supporting women and girls impacted by conflict and displacement. Taban recounts the traumatic events of her childhood, the strength she found within herself to overcome these adversities, and her mission to create meaningful change in the world. Her story is a testament to resilience, purpose, and the transformative power of compassion.
