In Irvine, California, Wana Miskinyar presents Wana's Show from the colorful green-screen studio of Ariana Afghanistan International Television. Founded in 1989, the privately-owned television channel has been a source of news and entertainment for the Afghan diaspora in the United States and Europe for decades. It is one of many television channels that served as a tool for cultural education and community building in the Afghan diaspora before the prominence of social media. Wana's guest today is Mariam, famously known as Raees Mariam (which literally translates to boss) by her followers on Facebook and Instagram.
