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.
Dyna Stephens PA, formerly Dyna Loukach, is from Tetouan (Tet๚an/Tittawen), Morocco. She grew up in a conservative and prestigious family of Moors and Fassi descendants. Her great grandfather Loukach (Lucas) was a philosopher and doctor who came from Spain in the 14th century to settle in Tetouan. He founded Madrasat Loukach in the old Medina which was the first private school/college in the country.
Thanks a lot you guys. You're doing an awesome job and I/we greatly appreciate it. Wish you well.
