From the heat and sands of Sudan to the rolling hills of Central Pennsylvania, Hagir Elsheikh has traveled through life overcoming obstacles most would find insurmountable. Her autobiography will captivate you with details of her childhood in the war-torn country, Sudan. Her childhood was shaped by the harsh realities of a society that deemed females as second-class citizens. You will hear about how social mores can inflict severe pain and suffering on girls merely by virtue of their femininity. As a passionate activist, Hagir takes us on a gripping journey through her teen and college years, where her unyielding dedication to human and women’s rights led to detentions and tortures under a dictatorship regime. Even in high school, her activism exposed her to the chilling realities of the infamous “Ghost Houses” in Sudan, where brutality, rape, and murder were as prevalent as the pervasive desert sands. Forced to flee her homeland, Hagir lays bare the arduous path of a refugee—a journey filled with danger, challenges, and unrelenting determination. The promise of safety in America, however, gives way to the stark reality of an abusive spousal relationship, challenging her newfound euphoria. A remarkable advocate for women worldwide, Hagir has devoted her life to her family, her business, and an unyielding activism for the rights of women and all humanity. From spousal abuse to female genital mutilation, she confronts the atrocities of a vicious dictatorship with unwavering resolve. Join us as we embark on this transformative journey through the sands of life, witnessing Hagir’s quest to “Climb on the Clouds.
