This weekend, I had been invited to Beirut for a conference on how to use the internet for social change, where I gave a presentation about Mideast Youth and its projects. During this event I roomed with Rana Kamil from Baghdad, Iraq, who is inspirational and great. She was kind enough to allow me to include her in our latest podcast where we discuss the following:

  • Introduction about Rana and her work
  • Why she stayed in Iraq
  • Religious extremism / her brief experience with the hijab
  • Opinions on Obama and what “change” he may or may not bring
  • How she and other young people envision the future in Iraq

    • Thanks Rana, you have my admiration and support for all your work. I look forward to reading your posts on Mideast Youth and its upcoming Arabic page.
