About this listen

She never commanded an army. She never wrote a book. She never sought a monument. But for nearly half a century, Meyan Khatun --- Yazidi princess, regent, mother, and grandmother --- held her ancient people together through the collapse of empires, two world wars, and the treacherous birth of the modern Middle East. Born into a world that had already counted dozens of genocides against her people, she survived Ottoman massacre and exile, navigated corrupt power structures with clear-eyed pragmatic wisdom, and governed the Yazidi Emirate of Sheikhan with a quiet authority that no one who encountered her ever forgot. Harmonia tells the story of a woman whose greatest achievement was one of the hardest things a human being can do --- refusing, day after day, decade after decade, to let the thread break.
