Zafar Shah is one my closest friends that I've known since the seventh grade. After a two year watchful waiting period, we became friends at the beginning of ninth grade and have remained close ever since. He currently works in Baltimore as an attorney at the Public Justice Center. His work entails representing clients facing eviction and also advocating for fairer laws that would help low-income tenants. Despite Zafar's advice that the podcast be edited down to a more digestible portion (s), I have done little editing as I find everything he says to be fascinating. We discuss varied topics including the difficulties of friendship, the challenges obstructing his mother's desire to become an entrepreneur, my bench time during basketball games, the X-files, his path towards activism and his current career, and him being one of the best dads I know (at least when I happen to be around).
