In The Wild Element, Dima shares her story of growing up in the Middle East – oppressed by family, culture and her own fears and limitations, and more importantly her painstaking journey to rise above. She paints a vivid picture of both the beauty and tragedy of her life in the Middle East and transition to America – baking with her loving grandmother, struggling to break free from her oppressive husband, and the pinnacle moments that opened her eyes and motivated her as she fought for her own identity and at times, for her very life. The Wild Element will empower both men and women to take risks, stand for their dreams, and rise.
