🇫🇷 Proud to Pursue La French Tech San Francisco

I'm actively working toward joining La French Tech San Francisco, and I'm especially excited about the La French Tech NOVA program, which supports high-potential entrepreneurs from under-represented and minority backgrounds — entrepreneurs like myself — with mentoring, investor connections, and access to the broader French Tech network. Fingers crossed!

🕯️ A Somber Anniversary: 5 Years Since the Fall of Kabul

Today marks a very important, somber anniversary: five years since the Taliban's takeover of Afghanistan. It's been unfortunate, and students — especially women, children, and teenagers — still cannot go to school. It's been terrible.

You can read my latest #LongReads on Afghanistan at zack.coffee/afghanistan. My book on Afghanistan is also available on Amazon in both paperback and Kindle: a.co/d/0fzrC7SD. The latest issue of The Economist has a special report on Afghanistan, which I'll talk about on Monday.
