The Last Laugh: Fuad Saif brings people home with the gift storytelling
So we’re nearing the end of Ramadan and I thought it be important for us to smile the type of smile that can only come from when we stop to take ourselves a little less seriously. Fuad Seif @homegrownimmigrant has blended fatherhood, Faith, and the everyday trials of life into relatable yet unique style of storytelling that only few can wish to attain. This style is rooted in his ability to draw from the effortless comedic genius of his Ayeeyo (grandmother) and different tools Allah has made manifest throughout his journeys in life.
