Aya was born and raised in Tyre (Sur) Lebanon. She moved to the United States at the age of 13 in 2006.  At the age of 30 (she looks 20) she has found, through loss, a new perspective about herself and how she sees the world.  This will be a bit different from my other podcasts.  It get heavy and "real" pretty quickly.  I don't think either one of us saw that coming when we started.  I can guarantee you will be touched by the words of this wonderful young woman and, I believe, you may see a bit, if not, a lot of yourself in her words.  Thank you again Aya.
