Shab's Resilient Journey: From Refugee to Global Pop Sensation

Creative Space with Jennifer Logue

In this special replay of Creative Space, we revisit another fan-favorite conversation, featuring international pop sensation SHAB. Born in Iran, SHAB's journey from refugee to global pop star is a testament to resilience, creativity, and determination.

In this episode, SHAB and I discuss:

• Her powerful journey from Iran to the United States as a refugee
• How she turned her love for music into a successful global career
• The inspiration behind her empowering music videos and the message of self-expression and healing
• Her songwriting process and how personal experiences shape her music
• How music has helped her overcome personal trauma and inspire others

At the time of recording, Creative Space was still growing (no lighting, no makeup, a plain backdrop), but SHAB's story resonated so deeply that it became one of the most popular episodes of the podcast, inspiring listeners around the world.

Tune in for a moving conversation about overcoming challenges, the healing power of creativity, and the pursuit of dreams.
