I love your outlook on life. Your book sounds fascinating. Me as an African American, i can relate due to my Nigerian background. I feel like Society is the same way whenit comes to Africa. There views and perspectives are ignorant and the don’t know too much about the country. I’m glad that there are authours out there like you, who feel the need to spread cultural identity’s.

Wow! For years it’s bothered me that there’s not much evidence of the Arab-American presence in popular culture. I’m not talking about as villains in action movies, but just every day characters. I’m a black woman, but I’d really love to see TV shows, movies, etc. that “normalized” Arab-Americans. That didn’t make them into the Other or demonize them. I’d also love to read romances with Arab-American characters.

I’m not much of a Chick Lit reader, but I’ll definitely have to try Nadina Dajani’s books.

Thanks for bringing this writer to my attention, Angela. I love what you’re doing with these interviews.
