For a masterclass on life we come to none other than author, counselor, publisher, and communal pillar, Munira Ezzeldine. Munira walks us through the transformational power of making the intention of living through curiosity. From San Diego, through life's transformations, she fell in love with Joe Bruin. We take the trip together from young students in love to the parents of Lions. From the suburbs of Southern California to the mass graves of Srebrenica, Munira tells the story of taking her teenagers to the land of her ancestors. In Montenegro, in the villages of her parents, her children saw a society that holds pluralism in its DNA and a cosmic permission is given to be in awe of diversity and culture. How can we train our children through exposure to have the requisite resilience necessary to explore life to its fullest potential? We discuss the Tadic decision of the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. What does it mean to be a Balkan American Muslim? The value of walking our children through history in the most intimate way possible. We also discuss how to allow ourselves to re-see reality through the process of growing through the stages of growth that our young people experience. How can we be comfortable in liminal states? Being steady in pandemic times. False optimism doesn't work, run toward your anxiety - understand it, engage it. As parents, we impose our anxieties upon our kids, while much of the effort should be about letting go differently at different stages of our development. Parenting is a slow process of letting go. Letting go requires growth at each stage. "What your kid does is not a reflection of you." Your children's choices are not a threat to you. The key to parenting is curiosity. You have to trust the process. Simply, a masterclass on being an exceptional human.Mu
