I wish someone told me not to get off the car when stopped by a cop as a sign of respect for them.
I wish someone told me not to pick up random kids in the park and kiss them on the cheeks like we do on Morocco without being considered psychos.
In this stunning work of historical fiction, Laila Lalami brings us the imagined memoirs of the first black explorer of Americaa Moroccan slave whose testimony was left out of the official record.
Wahiba Benloughmary Estergard was born and raised in Taza, Morocco. She married an American Peace Corps Volunteer and they moved together to the United States. Wahiba immediately enrolled into English as Second Language classes and then decided to study Pharmacy and went all the way through the University of Iowa College of Pharmacy Doctorate Program. After receiving her doctorate, Wahiba pursued a post doctorate fellowship with Eli Lilly and Company and then went on to work for them as a Neuroscience Medical Liaison. Wahiba serves as a member of the Advisory Board of the High Atlas Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to the community development of Morocco.
As a non Moroccan entering the Moroccan world, I am grateful for your site. I can't tell you all the good info I am gaining about Morocco.
