Nour Al-Houda Bozo, aka “Noura,” is a peaceful global Samaritan and citizen. Specifically, she is of Kurdish and Syrian roots and nurtured on American soil. Her whole Arabic name means the “light of guidance.” Suitably, she loves to teach, guide, and inspire. Nour loves researching and writing and aspires to inspire before she expires. Nour knows that sounds cheesy.
About this idealistic, bohemian, spiritual and open-minded Muslim inspirer: It all started when she was born in Damascus, Syria. Two years later, she moved to the United States. Raised in Alief, Texas by her parents and the public-school system there, she soon learned that they both share the same values: freedom, faith, peace, love, empathy, charity, hope, happiness, mutual respect, trust, a healthy dose of individualism and collectivism, and fulfilling their dreams.
Nour’s nuclear family consists of her loving mother, Randa Bozo, and loving father, Taher Bozo. Her siblings are: Khouloud, Anas and Mohamad Bozo.
In 2004, she obtained her bachelor’s in Business Administration from the University of Houston-Victoria. In 2012, she mastered Educational Leadership from Houston’s Saint Thomas University. She also aspires to get a doctorate in spiritual sciences, or metaphysics.
As of February 14, 2022, she’s alive and kicking and resides in Houston, Texas. She formerly taught middle school English language arts and reading as an alumni teacher in Alief, Texas.
At the age of 33, she happily remarried to Jason A. Fain for eight amazing years. In addition, she’s a mother of three wonderful children: Rama, Ayah and Houssam Hatahet.
In January of 2009, she was blessed with bipolar disorder and was hospitalized for eight days. Since her late twenties and thirties, she struggled with bipolar, OCD and lupus. Thankfully, she’s in remission now. Nour believes those illnesses are a blessing and is thankful for them since she genuinely found: Herself, the universe, and God. She also found “bliss from grief and knowledge from gloom” (Khalil Gibran). She has faith that humanity can, too.
Blizzard Head is Nour's first non-fiction, free-verse and illustrated self-help book. It encourages humanity to thrive through faith in God with a dash of Sufism. This literary elixir explores doors of music, art, love, quantum physics, psychology, philosophy, and spirituality (and more) that you will want to visit and revisit. It allows you to consider, analyze, love, and appreciate everything about yourself, our universe, and God. It also discusses the realities of emotions, mental illnesses, suicidal thoughts, suicide, and remedies for the soul. In order to keep life miraculous, Blizzard Head also gives you hope through fascinating discussions about synchronicities.
