Zainab Salbi is an Iraqi American humanitarian, author of several books (Two Worlds: Escape from Tyranny: Growing Up in the Shadow of Saddam), public speaker, and women’s rights activist. She is the founder and former executive director of the non-profit humanitarian organization Women for Women International.

Zainab has been consistently identified as one of the women impacting the world. People Magazine named her as one of the “25 Women Changing the World”. She was also a guest of Oprah Winfrey at Super Soul Sunday.

Her life was impacted by her first-hand experience of war as she lived in Baghdad during the Iran-Iraq war, as well as fear and dictatorship due to her family's close relationship with Saddam Hussein and her father being the private pilot of Saddam. In 1990 Zainab was sent to the USA through an arranged marriage to an Iraqi American living in the US while she was 19 years old.

Eliza and Suze are two high school students from the Netherlands. They are both 16 years old. They belong to the Gen Z generation. For one of the assignments of their high school, they have written an essay about the thoughts of children around racism. They went ahead and they went to primary schools and interviewed children between the age of 4-12 years. Out of this essay came a beautiful book, written and illustrated by Eliza and Suze. The book is called Band-Aids, a story about a group of special children with a band-aid for the pain. In this episode, we get great insights and viewpoints about racism from two young ladies.

In this episode, I talk to Joe Wehbe from Sydney, Australia. We talked about Joe's co-authored newest book '18 and lost? so were we', written by 8 authors who felt lost after leaving high school. The book is about the stories of 8 everyday young people who could not be more different to show that there is no perfect path after high school.

Seth Godin blurbed the book:

"The big lie is that people have figured out their future. In this powerful and honest book, you'll discover that it's a journey, not a plan, and that you can lean into the possibilities that lie ahead. Essential reading for anyone in high school (and their parents)."
