From Survival to Advocacy: Adeb Arianson on Resilience, Social Justice, and Queer Storytelling
Description
Orphaned at a young age and shaped by displacement, danger, and resilience, Adeb Arianson has turned survival into advocacy. From Afghanistan to Canada, Adeb’s journey has spanned NGOs, government councils, and international organizations, always centering the fight for human rights, LGBTQ+ rights, youth empowerment, and gender-based violence prevention.
Now a sociology student at Dalhousie University, Adeb combines academic study with lived experience, bridging survivor wisdom, program facilitation, and nonprofit leadership to challenge inequality and spark systemic change. Beyond activism, Adeb is also an actor, model, and digital creator—founder of Boldly YaPp, a platform blending education and entertainment to amplify queer voices, dissect pop culture, and disrupt dominant narratives through storytelling.
In this episode, we explore Adeb Arianson’s powerful story of resilience, advocacy, and artistry—one that proves how lived experience, when shared boldly, can transform culture and reframe what’s possible.
