Paul, My Father was the youngest of 7 kids His Parents Born in Baghdad, Iraq Moved to Detroit MICH In The early 1930s Making my Grandparents 2 of The very first 10 people to come to America from their Country; Simply because The Catholic religion was Not allowed to Be Practiced in Iraq @ that time. The two Cultures are those in Which I Pride Myself On. The Best of Both Worlds As I’d Like to think. Tortillas and Pita Bread, Salsa and Hummus. Cumbia’s and Belly dancing. What’s Not to Love? Poetry Is What I enjoy to Write Most. It helps Pass the time It helps me deal with my emotions-Good, Bad and indifferent. I Would Like for People to be able to familiarize and Relate To feel and know that you are Not alone and that Someone, Somewhere understands and won’t Judge you for Being you. Never Be ashamed of who you are or what you are or what you’ve been through-Embrace it whole-heartedly.
