Finding Home: Mary Fariba Afsari and Danny Ramadan

Dr. Mary Fariba Afsari (Labor: One Woman’s Work) and fiction writer Danny Ramadan (Crooked Teeth) pivot from their usual work to author their own stories in their recently published memoirs. Both authors share powerfully nuanced accounts of resilience and autonomy, whether working to expand women’s access to healthcare in Afsari’s memoir, or navigating the brutal reality of being queer under oppressive regimes in Ramadan’s work. Moderated by journalist Claudia Meza.
