In October 2022, my dad and I embarked on a month-long journey delving into our ancestral roots, immersing ourselves in the rich culture of southeastern Turkey. Our exploration took us through vibrant cities like Istanbul, Antalya, Bingol, , Diyarbakir, Mardin, and numerous other towns and villages, each leaving a warmth in my heart, even if not captured on film. From organizing fundraisers for medications for dog kennels and visiting sacred tombs in Yayledere and Diyarbakir, we found ourselves be immersed in spiritual meditation rooms, and our experiences were varied and super meanngful.
This video, shared a year and a half later, serves as a belated birthday tribute to my beloved baba (dad), and to my cherished Auntie Aryawhom adores her hometown and a tribute to my grandfather, who though still with us at 94, grapples with memory loss. It is my hope that viewers gain something meaningful from this footage-a compilation of purposeful memories that underscore themes of accessibility, cultural understanding, and introspection.
Throughout, I touch on poignant topics, prompting reflection on gratitude and blessings. From showcasing enduring aspects of life, including hardships, educational disparities, privileges, and harmonious coexistence with nature, to raising thought-provoking questions, this video aims to spark dialogue and introspection, as well as nudge you into a deep dive into self awareness.
