My guest today is Ari Honarvar.
Ari has quite a story. She grew up in the Iran-Iraq war where there were many moments of heartbreak, fear and uncertainty but she found that inside each difficult moment, there was a gem waiting to be discovered. She is the founder of Rumi With A View, dedicated to building music and poetry bridges across war-torn and conflict-ridden borders. Her writing has appeared in The Guardian, Teen Vogue, Washington Post, Vice, and elsewhere and she is the author of the oracle card set and book, RUMI'S GIFT and her debut novel, A GIRL CALLED RUMI, is forthcoming in September 2021. She lives in San Diego, CA. U.S.A.
SOME OF THE THINGS WE DISCUSS:
