“I have a complicated relationship with airports. A space that once held promise, the gateway to summer vacations and adventure, now makes my heart race a little faster, beat a little harder. A seemingly random red strip of tape on the ground, a dated stamp and ink pad, a place of birth forever etched on a passport, and a somber uniformed officer determine our future, our lives.... I wonder what new family is anxiously pacing back there, sleep-deprived and confused, hoping for that stamp to hit the ink, hoping to step into a new life.” ImmigrationIranAirportsMigrationPersianDiasporaDiaspora Minority Book:Bottom of the Pot: Persian Recipes and Stories Source: Bottom of the Pot: Persian Recipes and Stories
