| Inspyre Reads Season 1, Ep.6- Amilah (ft. Halima Hagi-Mohamed) | 09 Jan 2018 | 01:15:10 | |
Last week we kicked off the year with a special guest and for the episode we've followed up with another amazing guest.Halima Hagi-Mohamed was born in Nairobi, Kenya to Somali parents. She was raised in Fresno, California and is the second youngest of nine children. Hagi-Mohamed has been writing since the young age of twelve. She got her start by writing on popular story sharing website Wattpad, and later ventured into writing fictional stories about life in the Somali diaspora. In 2010, she won the online Pen Writing Competition, placing first in her division. A year later, she created a Facebook account ‘For Somali Gabdho’ alongside younger sister Fartoon, wherein they published short stories for a large audience of Muslim women. In her free time, she likes to read and write fiction. “Amilah” is her first book.Support her amazing work by buying her book here:UK: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Amilah-Halima-Hagi-Mohamed/dp/1543177190/US: https://www.amazon.com/Amilah-Halima-Hagi-Mohamed/dp/1543177190Halima's social links:Facebook: HalimawritesInstagram: HalimawritesShow notes:This week we read 'Amilah' by Halima Hagi Mohamed.We started off with a Challenge segment and then we got into an interview with the amazing Halima Hagi Mohamed aka Halimawrites followed by our normal discussion on the book.In Arabic, the word “Amilah” translates into the act of being hopeful. In dark times, we find ease in giving up, and giving into our own gloom and despair. Even through these dark times, we find glimmers of hope. These glimmers are what inspired Halima to write Amilah. “Amilah” is a book of fictional short stories that explores difficult situations in the lives of various Somali Americans. From a young woman combating the negative stigma of having depression in her family, to a young man faced with the echoes of an ugly past. In Amilah, characters are faced with either succumbing to defeat or seeking hope. “Amilah” is a look into how hope can play an important role in the lives of the dejected and ever despairing.Intro: 0:00Challenge section: 1:29Interview: 21:40Book discussion: 46:10If you have any suggestions or feedback, you can do this anonymously via this Curious Cat link: https://curiouscat.me/inspyre_entDescriptionIn this Podcast we'll be reviewing/discussing a book we've read on a weekly basis.

| Paper Trails - Season 4 Episode 10: Make Time by John Zeratsky and Jake Knapp | 15 Apr 2024 | 00:57:29 | |
In our upcoming discussion, we will be exploring the insightful book "Make Time: How to Focus on What Matters Every Day" by Jake Knapp and John Zeratsky. This masterwork offers a fresh perspective on productivity. The authors propose an innovative approach to managing time that goes beyond conventional methods. Instead of trying to become more efficient, the book advocates for a shift in focus towards identifying and spending time on the activities that truly matter to you. Knapp and Zeratsky introduce the concept of "Time Dorks," a term they use to describe people who are obsessed with optimizing their time and routines. They argue that being a Time Dork is not about getting more stuff done, but about getting the right stuff done. The book presents a variety of strategies that help to achieve this goal, including tactics such as "Laser," which encourages intense focus on one task, and "Reflect," which emphasizes the importance of taking time to consider what is truly important in your life. Another powerful concept introduced in the book is the "Daily Highlight," a practice of choosing one activity each day that you want to make sure gets your attention. This simple practice can lead to significant improvements in productivity and satisfaction. Above all, "Make Time" emphasizes that it's not about cramming more into your day, but about creating time for what truly matters to you. It's about making time for work, play, and the people you love. Stay tuned for our discussion on these concepts and more from this transformative book!

| Paper Trails - Season 4 Episode 5: Privatise the mandem | Nabil Alkinani | 04 Mar 2024 | 01:26:21 | |
"Privatise the Mandem" is an influential work penned by Nabil AlKinani. The book serves as a call to action for individuals and societies to take back control over their own narratives and perspectives. AlKinani passionately argues for the importance of local ownership and restoration as a means to effect tangible changes in our communities. His book is an exploration of community empowerment and the potential that lies within each one of us to contribute positively to our surroundings. The narrative is filled with compelling arguments and thought-provoking discussions that inspire readers to reconsider their roles within their communities. The power of ownership is a central theme in the book. Nabil believes that by owning our stories, our spaces, and our resources, we can enact real, positive changes that benefit everyone. The concept of restoration is also a crucial part of his argument. He advocates for the restoration of community values, heritage, and sense of belonging, all of which he believes have been eroded over time. "Privatise the Mandem" is not just a book; it's a movement that encourages us to actively participate in shaping our communities.
