  • Episode 1: God, Family, Country
    In this first episode of Sandstone, I'll give you a sneak peek into my West Virginia upbringing - a childhood guided by the values of God, family, and country. This patriotic trinity, however, was in danger.
    Across the ocean, men in turbans had waged war on my God, my family, and my country. And my middle-school self was determined to stop them. Inspired by an active imagination and a spoonful of spite, I resolved to join the FBI, take down Osama bin Laden, and save the world from evil.
    This plan was golden - until I met Kafa, a Yemeni woman and the kindest person I had ever met. As we sat pajama-clad in my bedroom and she tenderly decorated my hands with henna dye, my extravagant plan began to fall apart.
