Assalamu Alaikum! My name is Iman Abdel-Latif, and I am the host of Through Baba's Eyes. This podcast is for all the daddy’s little girls who see their fathers as guides, protectors, and best friends. For those who find inspiration in their father’s stories and live vicariously through their experiences. In each episode, my amazing guest—my baba—will share his life’s journey and the wisdom he's gained, offering stories that we hope will inspire, motivate, or touch your heart. Join us for heartfelt conversations that plant seeds of reflection and growth.
At 20, he left home for Kuwait. He spent a decade in the desert trying to find his footing, but after a series of pivotal events, a quiet yearning metastisized. Ten years later, he remembered a friend from high school — his way out. Visa in hand, he set out for a new life.
Baba reflects on his teenage years, passing a life-changing exam, and the struggles of finding work. The turning point comes when he sees a mailman waving a newspaper announcing that the visa for Kuwait is cancelled.
Take a glimpse into Baba's childhood in Palestine, where simple living and deep connections to family, faith, and the land shaped the person he is today.
