💝 Answers to the previous Mini Voyage 💝

The hidden message from last month's puzzle is as follows. Did you get it right?

To quote Nietzsche, "You have your way, I have my way. As for the right way, the correct way, and the only way, it does not exist." Here are some places that celebrate mothers or women outside of May.

I'm sad to share that an Iranian French graphic novelist I adore, Marjane Satrapi, had passed away this month. Her husband was taken by cancer just last year, and it's painful to imagine how difficult this past year must have been for her. Marjane Satrapi's Persepolis autobiographical graphic novel series was instrumental in shaping my belief in the educational and literary values of graphic novels and, more broadly, the so-called "low-content" books. The series talked about how she grew up in Tehran, amidst the Iranian Revolution and its aftermath. The depiction of the Revolution challenged my understanding in what progress and evolution really mean. If you are interested in learning more about the Iranian Revolution or Islamic Revolution, I'd also like to recommend the video game 1979 Revolution: Black Friday.

On other news, I've been quite prolific in my second identity as a singer so far this year. I recently had the opportunity to perform in Vancouver at the Tapestry International Festival with my choir, the Peninsula Women's Chorus. While there, some of us chatted with a Hungarian Canadian singer about Hungary's election that just occurred in April, where the opposition party won by a landslide, ending the former leader's 16-year rule. While I can't say I am familiar with Hungarian politics, people are excited about the election outcome and hopeful for the future. This is the conversation that sparked our Mini Voyage this month.
