CASTING CALL FOR AFGHAN ACTORS: MINDFIELD DIRECTED BY SAYED MAHDI

February 2, 2023

Well, this is our chance to get our community to get involved in this very popular TV Show on Apple TV called Little America.

This one episode show is about a young Afghan piano prodigy. It’s a beautiful story about how he became interested in music and how his talent brought him to the United States. This is a fictionalized version of a real story.

It would be wonderful to have Afghans cast for these roles so I ask your help to get the word out, let’s see some real Dari spoken on this show. The best part is NO EXPERIENCE is necessary. The casting team is very excited to work with the Afghan community to bring this show to life in the most authentic way.

So share this post with your family members, networks and in your communities. Whether you live in Virginia, LA, Toronto, Queens or the Bay Area it doesn’t matter. The search is being conducted in the US and Canada. Submission details are in the attached flyers in Dari and English.

Dr. Laura Tedesco meeting Afghan elders

Meet an extraordinary woman who was at the intersection of cultural diplomacy and war!

I’m really excited to share my interview with Dr. Laura Tedesco, the Cultural Heritage Program Manager for The State Department’s Bureau of South and Central Asian Affairs and the star of the Monuments Woman Podcast, about her extraordinary journey to preserve Afghanistan’s cultural heritage sites.

As you can imagine, when an Afghan catches up with an old friend that conversation is not going to be short so we cut the interview into two parts.

Afghanistan Heart Symbol created by Humaira Ghilzai and Emily Rupright

Afghanistan Heart Symbol created by Humaira Ghilzai and Emily Rupright

Celebrating Afghanistan's culture, people and food!

August 15, 2022

Many of us have been anxiously awaiting the one-year anniversary of the fall of the elected Afghan government and the takeover of the Taliban. Last week I posted about the current state of Afghan women and the setbacks for human rights since the Taliban took over. But today, I want to share with you the beauty of Afghanistan and not her suffering. No matter what the politics, or who is in power Afghans will always hold on to their beautiful culture through food, hospitality, and pride in their heritage.

I invite you to learn about the beauty of Afghanistan through all the symbols I’ve included in this heart that personify our ancient culture.
