Today we have Anas Afana and Stella Bellow, authors of: Destined to Fail: A Memoir of Resilience, a story of resilience, personal growth, and grit. Anas, the son of a Jordanian diplomat, grew up during tumultuous riots that struck Sudan during the 1980s. Then at just 17 years old, his father brought him to the US and left him to fend for himself. With little knowledge of English and thousands of miles away from his home, Anas had to grow up fast. Through this tale of a refusal to fail, Anas’ story is awe-inspiring; Anas proves that one can achieve anything through resilience. With the help of Stella, Anas was able to take his memories and turn them into this memoir. Through hours of painstaking interviews, Stella was the pencil Anas needed to echo his voice.

Anas owns a business in Omaha, Nebraska and has two grown-up children, Nader and Danah. He travels between America’s Heartland and Denver, where he spends time with his wife, Natasha. Stella is an artist and writer with a BFA in Illustration and Literature from Parsons and The New School.
