Star Wars Celebration Chicago '19

Hello Pride!

Earlier this month I was able to travel to Chicago for Star Wars Celebration which is a purely Star Wars convention. I had so much fun being involved in the convention and hanging out with all my friends from around the world that I usually only get to see at Celebration. I put together some of the photos I took at the convention. Can not wait until next time! Anaheim 2020 here I come!

  Sanctuary by Paola Mendoza My rating: 3 of 5 stars Sanctuary is a young adult alternate reality fiction novel. It takes place in America during the near future of 2032. In this dystopian take of the country, the fight against immigration and the use of racial profiling and discrimination has evolved into a chilling reality. Walls are being placed to separate those wanted from those deemed not worthy. Identification chips are placed into every citizen to help weed out illegal immigrants in order to be deported back from where they came from or put into detention camps. After violence keeps erupting against this new reality, California decides to take a stand in solidarity. They have chosen to become a sanctuary state to all immigrants in the country seeking it. Sanctuary follows Vali and her family on their journey from trying to survive in America as immigrants to making the escape to safety in California. The questions are, can they make it?

A Cave in the Clouds: A Young Woman's Escape from Isis by Badeeah Hassan Ahmed My rating: 4 of 5 stars Badeeah's story is one of survival, resilience, and humanity. Her life journey unfortunately involved paths of violence and a lack of human compassion that no person should have to face. However, this biography showed her courage to not only survive herself but her strength and compassion in helping her family and other victims with her. At 18 Badeeah was driven from her home during an ISIS raid on her Ezidi village in Iraq. She was separated from her family, some did not survive or were considered missing after her escape, except for her young nephew who she posed as his mother. They were sold into a human trafficking ring. This eventually brought them to Syria where she was sold as a wife and was both physically and sexually assaulted during her containment. Together with another woman, who was sold with them, they were able to escape and be reunited with some of their fa...
