Earlier this year, CBC Radio's Ideas aired The Idea Of Home: Songs of Home, a documentary featuring Afghan-Canadians who find their way 'home' through their music.
We liked it so much, we put together a show featuring Afghan musicians living in the diaspora.
It airs on CBC Music at 6.

Hands down the best part of Vancouver Writers Fest. The convo was nuanced, funny, risky — just like the authors’ incredible debut work that pulled me there in the first place. Only huge fan appreciation for Saeed Teebi سعيد الطيبي threa! ✍🏽 Noor Naga & of course Omar El Akkad over here!

Went to a great panel discussion on stort stories yesterday at Vancouver Writers Fest.

I already had Saeed Teebi سعيد الطيبي 's fantastic book, Her First Palestinian (sixteen thumbs up) and HAD to pick up Francine Cunningham 's God Isn't Here Today after hearing her talk!

'As a writer, I am duty-bound to tell my character's truth.' - Saeed Teebi سعيد الطيبي at Vancouver Writers Fest. What an inspiring night led by Omar El Akkad.

A very engaging conversation between Omar El Akkad, Saeed Teebi سعيد الطيبي, Noor Naga, and threa! ✍🏽 at Vancouver Writers Fest. All four are writers whose work you won't want to miss. Their sense of humour and sharing was wonderful.

A finalist for the Writers' Trust Atwood Gibson prize, HER FIRST PALESTINIAN by Saeed Teebi سعيد الطيبي is a 'layered, fully imagined work...probing, sure of itself, astounded by life’s cruelties and surprising joys and by its ironies large and small.”(@reviewcanada)

The first report from UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, UN Special Rapporteur oPt warns that “Israeli endeavours in the occupied Palestinian territory are indistinguishable from settler-colonialism,” violating the right of self-determination while pursuing the “de-Palestinianization” of the OPT.

GG finalist Aaron Kreuter reviewed HER FIRST PALESTINIAN for Literary Review of Canada.

Aaron saw my collection so clearly, and understood it so perfectly, it was almost frightening. I'm so grateful for this thoughtful, long piece.
