About
Soosan Firooz is Afghanistan's first female rapper and actress, born in 1989. She grew up fleeing war—her family spent seven years in an Iranian refugee camp during the 1990s civil war, then three years in Pakistan before returning to Kabul in 2011. Her debut single "Our Neighbors" (2012) tackled the refugee crisis in Dari; songs like "Naqisul Aql" directly challenge Afghan misogyny. A Capricorn, she's faced death threats and acid-attack warnings for defying gender norms.

Biography
Soosan Firooz is Afghanistan's first female rapper and actress, born in 1989. Her early years were marked by displacement: her family fled during Afghanistan's civil war in the 1990s, spending seven years in an Iranian refugee camp where she faced discrimination and was barred from attending school regularly due to bureaucratic restrictions. After three years as refugees in Pakistan, they returned to Afghanistan and settled in Kandahar in 2003, where she worked weaving rugs with her siblings. The family relocated to Kabul in 2011, where Firooz began her entertainment career with small roles in local television soap operas and films. She sought and received permission from her father, Abdul Ghafar Firooz, to pursue rap. Afghan musician Farid Rastagar discovered her talent and composed her first single, "Our Neighbors" (2012), which examines Afghan refugee hardship in stark language with lyrics by poet Suhrab Sirat. Firooz performs exclusively in Dari, her native language. Another notable track, "Naqisul Aql" (meaning "mentally disturbed"), directly confronts the derogatory terms used against women in Afghan society. As an actor and rapper, she has become a polarizing cultural figure, challenging entrenched gender expectations. Her activism carries severe personal cost: she has received threats of acid attacks, kidnapping, and murder; her mother, who works in humanitarian aid in southern Afghanistan, has also been threatened. Her father abandoned his job at the electrical department to manage and protect her, attending studio sessions as her bodyguard. She performed at a three-day Kabul music festival in October 2012. As a Life Path 11, she embodies the visionary reformer archetype. Her Capricorn nature aligns with her unflinching, strategic resistance to systemic oppression.
