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.
Tatik Bakkal, better known by his stage name, YungT aka Ytm50C was born in Casablanca, Morocco.
He later immigrated with his family in 1999 to the Bronx in New York.
YungT aspired to be a recording artist, so he decided to take a traditional approach to get his foot in the door. In 2008, YungT made his first video as a means to showcase his talent as a HipHop artist and a new voice from the Boston streets.
