Ilhan has been an inspiring figure well before her time in Congress. This book will give you insight into the person and sister that I see—passionate, caring, witty, and above all committed to positive change. It's an honor to serve alongside her in the fight for a more just world." —Congresswoman Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez An intimate and rousing memoir by progressive trailblazer Ilhan Omar—the first African refugee, the first Somali-American, and one of the first Muslim women, elected to Congress. Ilhan Omar was only eight years old when war broke out in Somalia. The youngest of seven children, her mother had died while Ilhan was still a little girl. She was being raised by her father and grandfather when armed gunmen attacked their compound and the family decided to flee Mogadishu. They ended up in a refugee camp in Kenya, where Ilhan says she came to understand the deep meaning of hunger and death. Four years later, after a painstaking vetting process, her family achie...
  After having watched clips on YouTube I am watching Community on Netflix. From Dan Harmon. It is a surreal comedy. It has a great cast of actors. It was launched in 2009. Britta and Annie are hot. Jeff has been working as a Lawyer. Now disqualified he goes to a community college. The others have back stories. He creates a study group. Which is how the main cast would meet. Ken Jeong plays a Spanish teacher. John Oliver was in the early parts of the show, played Prof Duncan. Many memorable lines which often are quoted in the comments section. Chevy Chase is someone that I grew up watching. Troy is a jock, Shirley a divorcee. Abed suffers from Aspergers. His father owns a restaurant. Annie is enthusiastic. I had been looking at the tension between cast members. Do feel sorry for Chevy. However some of the things he had said to Danny were unacceptable. Pierce was a CEO. Speaks his mind. The Dean makes an occasional appearance. Good writing. Plenty of references. With some of t...
I have watched DC Stargirl. I remember some weirdos were triggered by the trailer. This is an origin story. If you like Gotham, Smallville, Shazam, Buffy, Spiderman, Stranger Things then this is what you should see. Looking at the cast list I recognise names. Amy Smart looks good. Luke Wilson also stars. Good special effects. You will like the soundtrack . Starts off with a battle scene. Jump 10 years later. You have a young family. Step parents. They have just mover into this town. Some of the villains still reside. The protagonist Courtney is trying her best to fit in. You do get a few reveals within the first episode. I predicted some plot twists. I won't share them though. Courtney is pretty. Nice ass in those shorts. She finds a few items that contain information about the JSA. She gets a hold of the Cosmic Staff. Trouble isn't far away. With the battle you have Pat calling out the names of characters. It gives info to the audience. Series Cast  (100) ...

Escape Room

  Escape Room is a psychological horror. It is a guy's birthday. He is with his girlfriend and they are headed to the restaurant to meet some friends. A trip to a place where they hold escape room type games is organised. You have this phone conversation during the opening credits. You are given clues as to who the villain is. There is a history between the characters. In the rooms they don't have any instructions but seem to work out what needs to be done. I do wonder what happened with Asian friend. Clever games, good special effects. The actors have been in other things that you may recognise them from. One of the characters wearing glasses is annoying. The blonde Kristen has nice tits. I did feel that I may have seen this film before. It is an indie flick. See the reviews.  Cast  (18) Evan Williams Tyler Annabelle Stephenson Natasha Elisabeth Hower Christen Dan J.

El Hoyo

The Platform, a horror drama. Netflix release. Spanish with subtitles. In a prison with many floors. Two prisoners per level. You get to see what the staff are up to. Some flashbacks. Level 48, the protagonist Goreng wakes up and he is with Trimagasi, a pensioner. Mysterious. There is food on a platform being lowered. All you can eat. Limited time. Gruesome. You might also like High rise, Big Brother, Saw, Circle. Interesting dialogue. Good actors. One of the characters reminds me of Caitlin Jenner. Must look at trivia, discussion and a review. You might be interested in the soundtrack.  Iván Massagué Antonia San Juan Zorion Eguileor Emilio Buale Alexandra Masangkay
