BETHESDA WOMAN

TAKES PART IN

NEW PODCAST

SERIES ON

ARAB-AMERICAN ISSUES

Nura Suleiman, Peace Corps volunteer and Bethesda resident, will be featured in a new podcast series sponsored by the Arab-American Museum.

On the February 21 episode, Suleiman will reflect on her time of service in Cameroon.

The series will highlight current issues of interest to the Arab-American community, and to other Americans wishing to learn more about these topics underreported by the mainstream media.

"We cover a wide range of timely topics, from identifying and combating stereotypes and the little-known contributions of Arab-Americans in public service, to the reasons why Muslim women here and elsewhere may choose to dress in the conservative style known as hijab," museum curator Janice Freij told the Dearborn Press and Guide. "It's our hope that people all over the world - Arabs and non-Arabs - will be informed and enlightened by these podcasts," she added.

The podcasts will be available at http://www.ArabAmericanMuseum.org where you can click on the iTunes logo on the "Online Activities" page.
