She said, “I am concerned for the women and children of Afghanistan under Taliban rule because the freedom to work, education…all that can no longer exist. So many women have fought for their basic rights, for progress. Because, and fought so hard for years for all that could be missing, it’s heartbreaking. From what we all have been seeing on the Internet, and whatever I have been reading and watching about Afghanistan, everything is disturbing.”

She adds, “My whole childhood is connected to that land. I can understand the sense of betrayal that the Afghanis might be feeling. What are they going to do? The images of people hanging to the wheels of the aircraft that was leaving, falling to their death, were heartbreaking. For them, death was better than living in that country. To see such images, to think about what those people must be going through is disturbing. It is the land of utmost beauty and utmost turmoil.”
