Educator & Author Madiha Katao

Welcome to a new edition of the Famous Interviews with Joe Dimino series. On this episode, we talk with Educator & Author Madiha Katao, whose powerful memoir The Daughter of Golan Heights captures a deeply personal journey shaped by heritage, land, and faith.

Growing up in Mansoura in the Golan Heights, Madiha was profoundly influenced by her father’s farming work—learning agricultural skills, discipline, and values from an early age. Her story is rooted in the fertile soil of the Golan, where the rhythms of Circassian agricultural life shaped her identity and tethered her heart to her Caucasus ancestry, her homeland, and to the spiritual light that continues to guide her life.

Now based in Dallas, Madiha reflects on her upbringing, her connection to the land, and the revelations that shaped her path. In this interview, she shares her cultural legacy, her father’s influence, and the heartfelt inspiration behind The Daughter of Golan Heights.

It’s a beautiful and profound story. Enjoy the interview.
