Workbook
For Iraqi Families in the Diaspora
Displacement, Rebuilding, and the Conversations Nobody Had Time For
Iraq is more than the war. Your family's story is more than the displacement.
For the Iraqi family in the diaspora who carries Arab, Kurdish, Assyrian, Yazidi, or Mandaean heritage and wants to name the whole story — not the headline version.
The Name It First Experience
Iraqi families carry one of the most politically layered identities in the Arab world — ethnic and sectarian diversity, displacement, and what Iraq means to a family versus what it means to the headlines. Arab, Kurdish, Assyrian, Chaldean, Yazidi, Mandaean: the internal complexity has never had a single container. This workbook gives Iraqi diaspora families a structured process for naming the whole story — the heritage, the grief, and what gets passed to children who did not live it. The output is not a summary of the war. It is The Iraqi Diaspora Document — your family's signed account.
You can opt into 30-, 60-, and 90-day check-ins from your account. We recommend you do — the point is to see what changed.
Sample questions
- What does Iraqi identity mean when your family survived Saddam, the sanctions, the war, and displacement — and nobody has ever asked you to tell the whole story?
- What ethnic or community identity does your family carry — Arab, Kurdish, Assyrian, Chaldean, Yazidi, Mandaean — and what does that mean separately from the national identity?
- What from Iraqi culture does your family most want to carry forward — the hospitality, the food, the ancient civilization, the values?
