Azad’s father was brutally executed by the Iraqi army. Since then, Azad has moved to the city of Duhok to pursue his education. In doing so he hopes to provide a new life for his family and his fiancée, Juwan, who are back in their home village. But as the Iran-Iraq War comes to an end, the Iraqi government launches the genocidal Anfal campaign against the Kurds. Fleeing separately across physical and emotional borders, Azad and Juwan find themselves in the crosshairs of the Iraqi army. However, the most dangerous threat is the one they least expect.

Rollercoaster of emotions
Revisado: 10-10-22
I recently finished listening to the audible of The Mountains We Carry by Zaid Brifkani, MD., FASN. I was utterly blown away; the book was a roller coaster of emotions, and the stories were heart-breaking; as someone that isn't too in tune with his culture (Kurdish), it was a real eye-opener and ignited a yearning to learn more. I highly recommend this book to everyone!

He was the wittiest, the prettiest, the strongest, the bravest, and, of course, the greatest (as he told us over and over again). Muhammad Ali was one of the 20th century's greatest radicals and most compelling figures. At his funeral in 2016, eulogists said Ali had transcended race and united the country, but they got it wrong. Race was the theme of Ali's life. He insisted that America come to grips with a Black man who wasn't afraid to speak out or break the rules. He didn't overcome racism. He called it out.

Truly the greatest
Revisado: 12-14-21
This book didn’t shy away from Muhammad Ali‘s controversies and embraced his flaws. Muhammad Ali is known to be the greatest boxer of all time and even the best performer. The book begins with the story of his childhood and how he found his way in boxing. It is a roller coaster of emotions as you learn and listen to all the trials and tribulations he has done through. I have always adored the legacy of Mohammad Ali and being too young to ever have seen him in perform, This book does a perfect job of creating a vivid description in your head and all the things that were going on around him and it makes you feel like you were there.
