Every year around this time, The Kitchen Sisters hostBowling With Grace, our big annual community party at Mission Bowling Club in San Francisco where we honor life-long bowling savant,Amazing Grace Mulloy. Grace, who turns 99 this year, is in two senior bowling leagues and averages about 100 a game. Grace moves through the lanes sipping her signature Scotch and Soda with a green olive,sharing her bowling tips and wisdomwith the crowd. Recently a listener sent us an article from the DCist by writer andphotographer Valerie Pleschabout an astonishing group ofyoung Afghan women journalists, musicians and activistswho fled their country in fear for their lives when theTaliban took over their nation — a group now living in the DC area. Two paragraphs into the article,we knew had to record these women’s stories, especially when we read that one of the journalists, 26-year-old Taban Ibraz, had a weekly national television show,Let's Bowl, whereshe interviewed politicians and people of note while bowling with them in an alley in Kabul. Bowling binds us as a communityat Bowling with Grace. Bowling bound this journalist to her now shattered community in Kabul.
