I remember the Bay Area before it was known as Silicon Valley. I also remember when my parents bought our house in San Jose for under $120,000. But that was 35 years ago. This valley has changed so much! I miss all of the corner orchard lots and the slower pace of life.

It was honor to join Omaid Sharifi from ArtLords-هنرسالار and Dovie Holland from the USAfghanWC to launch the #Istandwithyou campaign at Georgetown University. I shared some of my research about the lives of former Afghan queens and famous Afghan women in history. We will bring this…
