I’m honored to emcee the Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Greater Twin Cities Gala Saturday night.
I hope to see you there. If not, please consider sharing your time with a deserving young person in need of great mentorship from a caring adult: http://www.bbbs.org/site/c.drLRK6PELoF/b.1739179/k.B111/Gala.htm
It was with mixed emotions that I listened to my friend Roxana Saberi share her story of imprisonment in Iran during the first part of 2009. She talked of solitary confinement, of mental torture, of the general lack of freedom caused by imprisonment.
But Roxana also poignantly wove into this true story of anguish fine details about the human spirit, friendship, and heroism. I look forward to reading her book and hope you seek out a city in which she speaks next to see and hear her. I am very proud of this journalist and friend who truly showcases how the human story is far more similar than it is different among peoples of varying lands. www.roxanasaberi.com
I look forward to seeing my friend Roxana Saberi today in Minneapolis after a very long time. She’ll be speaking at the Humphrey Institute on the U of M Campus about her imprisonment in Iran and her new book.
The event is open to the public at no charge: http://roxanasaberi.eventbrite.com/
