Although we live in the same world, we experience it from our perspective of self, place, and time. In 2008, I worked for a Fortune 500 corporation as a Training Specialist and presented seminars in large cities, small towns, and remote locations throughout the United States.

As I traveled and learned more about the American story, I looked for my own among the diverse cultures of Pakistan, England, and America. And if I couldn’t find meaning, I hoped to at least make sense of a chaotic and confusing first decade of the 21st Century.

 

 

The 2008 financial crisis, presidential election, and social unrest are mostly forgotten or reframed; at the time, they wedged a national divide that resonates with ever more consequences in the present day. The Americanization of Zamir – A Memoir is a modern-day immigrant story of what it was like to live, work, and travel during this era.  

I hope you’ll join me for a new perspective on this historical decade that continues to influence America and the world. It’ll be non-partisan, non-divisive, and only half as serious as this About Page.
