She currently lives in Minnesota and teaches at Anoka-Ramsey Community College.“Under the Tamarind Tree” is Alam's debut novel and is set in the seaside city of Karachi. The main character, a woman named Rozeena, opens the novel sitting on her veranda near a garden shaded by palm and Ashoka trees, where she receives a call from someone she knew in the past. The rest of the book fluctuates between a dual timeline and follows Rozeena and her friends in the decades after the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947.I'd love to hear your thoughts on this episode, so please do think about leaving a review, and like, subscribe and rate wherever you listen to this show :)Come connect with me on social media - I'd love to chat:www.instagram.com/readwithsamiawww.instagram.com/thediversebookshelfpod Support the show

Isha Sesay is an award-winning journalist and the author of Beneath the Tamarind Tree. The book is a reflection of her time covering the abduction of 276 Nigerian schoolgirls by the terrorist group Boko Haram. Isha follows the journeys of a group of Chibok girls who made it home safely. In this episode of the podcast, Isha talks about the importance of sharing these stories. She also explains why she left her job at CNN, and how she is working to empower young women to be the leaders of the future.

In the early morning of April 14, 2014, the militant Islamic group Boko Haram violently burst into the small town of Chibok, Nigeria, and abducted 276 girls from their school dorm rooms. From poor families, these girls were determined to make better lives for themselves, but pursuing an education made them targets, resulting in one of the most high-profile abductions in modern history. In Beneath the Tamarind Tree, Isha Sesay tells this story as no one else can. With a soaring message of hope at its core, Isha Sesay will deliver the Keynote Address for the 2019 Harrisburg Book Festival, reminding us of the ever-present truth that progress for all of us hinges on unleashing the potential of women.
