Yesterday I finished reading the book Funny in Farsi by Firoozeh Dumas. What a DELIGHTFUL book! I love books such as this one that helps to better understand an immigrant's experience in the U.S. Not only do I now have a better understanding of Iranians but other ethnicities as well.
It would be wise for Esperanza stakeholders to read more autobiographies of people from different cultures to gain a greater understanding of our Esperanza scholars and their families. It is also a reminder that we want to find ways to listen and hear the "stories" of our Esperanza families.
