Calgary, Alberta – August 10, 2025 – Nimrokh Media will host the 8th annual celebration of its founding by Fatima Roshanian. Fatima Roshanian, Founder of Nimrokh Media, said, “This anniversary is not only a celebration of Nimrokh’s journey but a testament to the resilience of Afghan journalists, and the importance of a free press in the face of adversity.”
It is a way to honour the courageous work of Afghan journalists while reflecting on the fall of Afghanistan to the theocratic, repressive forces of the Taliban.

There will be cultural conversations. There will be presentations about press freedom and the future of Afghan journalism.
Guest Speakers will be Parwiz Kawa, Zahra Nader, and Carolyn Campbell. There will be a special segment by Fatima Roshanian on personal stories of resistance and resilience.
