In this episode of the Seen Jeem Podcast, Sally Howell interviews author Safia Elhillo about her latest book, Home is Not a Country. The novel in verse explores themes of diasporic belonging through the experiences of the main character, 15-year-old Nima. Elhillo reads several excerpts from the book including "America," "Nostalgia Monster," "Haytham," and "Baba." Recordings of the readings are available on our website at  seenjeempodcast.org.
