Interviewing people in crises in the field gives me a sense of purpose, a connection to traumatized communities I know too well. I was born to share real-life stories—mine and theirs.”

Who We Are

3-line Divider

Fariba Nawa an investigative journalist, podcaster, author, and speaker based in Istanbul, Turkey. I’m the chief editor of On Spec Podcast, an audio documentary from the field.

I wear a lot of hats in journalism, but my favorite part is getting out there and talking to people, searching for clues, and making bad guys accountable for their crimes.

Born in Afghanistan, I came to the U.S. as a refugee and spent my teen years in California, then headed to the American East Coast for undergrad and graduate education. I have a master’s in journalism and Middle Eastern studies from New York University. Then I fled back to my roots.

In the last 30 years, you could’ve found me covering the news from places like Afghanistan, Egypt, Iran, Pakistan, and Turkey in the last decade. I’m the author of the reportage memoir Opium Nation: Child Brides, Drug Lords, and One Woman’s Journey through Afghanistan, and co-author of several nonfiction anthologies.
