In episode 200, the girls are joined by Iraqi novelist, filmmaker, and visual artist Mortada Gzar. They talk about his upbringing in Iraq, his experience as a gay man in Iraq, his immigration to Seattle, and so much more. And, of course they discuss his new memoir I'm in Seattle, Where Are You? which is a story about love and his journey to the US. It's a beautiful read and we recommend!
