In this tenth episode of The Imperfect Activist, Lucy travels (virtually) to Nepal to speak with Samita, a youth advocate and changemaker witnessing history unfold firsthand.

Together, they unpack the 2025 Gen Z protests - a youth-led uprising sparked by a government social media ban that quickly grew into a broader movement against corruption, inequality, and political failure.

Samita shares her insights from the ground, offering a raw and hopeful look at what it means to be young and resilient in a country on the edge of transformation. From the risks activists face to the rise of digital resistance, this episode explores how young Nepalis are challenging power, reimagining leadership, and placing youth voices at the center of change.

This is a story of protest, persistence, and possibility - and a reminder that resilience doesn’t always look perfect, but it does look powerful.
