Malala Yousafzai at Wang Theatre

Malala's shooting story is, without a doubt, what truly brought her "fame." The fact that she was able to survive was nothing short of miraculous. After that, she was really active in what was, in a sense, a new-found platform for her. As all this took place, however, she was only 16 years old! In a way, she became the poster child of forgiveness but also of the brutality of a particular government. Her story came back into the fold as the US left Afghanistan in 2021. Malala was one of the strongest voices who called on the international community to intervene in what was in her mind, and the minds of many others, a massive humanitarian crisis. This is perhaps the last that a lot of people have heard of Malala.

No longer the 16-year-old who first came to the United States, Malala went on to study in England. She's remained a very important voice against all forms of human rights violations. Over the years, she's had a special focus on children and the value of education. Apart from the icon that she is, one of the elements that make this talk at the Wang Theater such an interesting event is this opportunity for Americans and Bostonians, in particular, to meet Malala once again. Her life experiences and her professional studies over the years have refined her speeches and her understanding of social issues and their impact. She's no longer just a media darling being paraded across TV shows; she's truly one of the strongest voices against all forms of oppression in the world. To say that this event is eye-opening is a massive understatement!

The entire Wang Theater will be open on this night for anyone who wants to come out and hear Malala speak. It could turn out to be a historic event that locals will continue to talk about for years to come. As mentioned, this could be a new Malala, not the 16-year-old people might remember.
