Expat Scribe is a Filipino-Canadian journalist raised in Iran. After many years with the English-speaking press corps in the Middle East, she served as a medical assistant to a prominent Canadian-American psychiatrist. She penned The Invisible Cyber Bully with contributions from her Iranian-born, Arabic-speaking, British-educated brother. As a senior graphic designer with a multinational ad agency, he, together with his team, won a prestigious award in France. He died before seeing this book published. This publication is, in part, post-humous.
The siblings’ father was a planner and estimator for the US Air Force and Navy. He also worked in Arab and Iranian commercial aviation. Their Farsi-speaking mother was a silent advocate for women’s rights in Tehran. Their family survived the 1979 Iranian revolution and the Iran-Iraq war. Expat Scribe's parents sent her to Switzerland to prevent her from covering the Gulf War from a safer vantage point in the United Arab Emirates, but she returned in the middle of it.
This background places the siblings in a unique position as both insiders and outsiders in domains with totalitarian governance. Having grown up in one of the most enigmatic but misunderstood regions of the world, they developed a unique perspective on 21st-century blanket surveillance and cyber bullying by the authorities. Surprisingly, the entities they write about are not from autocratic regimes but democratic societies.
