Funnest and most interesting thing I’ve done in a while! Officers like @amnaappi not only change perceptions about a service but also create ease for people to access justice. More power to her! ✨ Follow @dbtv_live for updates on this interview and more.

Muzamil is more wonderful in person than he is on his socials. It was lovely to get to know him up close and have conversations with him. Social media does not do justice to what people are like in real life. Follow @dbtv_live for updates on this episode 👏🏻 @hoflolz
