Today we dive into Iraq beyond the headlines — the memories, the kitchens, the rivers, the art, the loss, and the love that survives across generations. 🇮🇶💛
Linda Dangoor shares her journey of growing up in Baghdad, leaving after the revolution, and rebuilding identity through art, food, and storytelling.
From the Tigris River 🌊 to life abroad, we explore the question:
Where is home, when home is no longer a place?
We talk:
• Childhood in Baghdad 🏡
• Family, language, and belonging 🤍
• The Tigris as memory 🌊
• Diaspora, exile & identity 🧳
• Cooking as heritage & healing 🍲
• Mesopotamian art & clay culture 🎨
• Returning to yourself, wherever you are 🌱
This conversation is emotional, cultural, human — and real.
If you’ve ever carried a country in your heart, this will resonate.
Stay to the end. You’ll feel this one. 🤍
