Between Two Worlds: The Untold Journey of Mustafa
In 1527, a Moroccan merchant turned slave named Mustafa ibn Muhammad joined the ill-fated Narvaez expedition to La Florida. History remembers him only as "Estebanico"-a footnote in Spanish chronicles. But what if he could tell his own story? Through Mustafa's eyes, we witness a profound journey across continents and identities, experiencing the brutal realities of conquest alongside moments of unexpected beauty and connection. His account reveals how quickly the powerful can rewrite history, erasing entire perspectives and lives. Yet beneath these official narratives lie deeper truths about human dignity, cultural erasure, and the universal search for freedom that resonate powerfully today. Mustafa's forgotten voice speaks directly to our modern conversations about whose stories matter-and who gets to tell them.
