Feel Like You Belong: Nadia El-Zein Tonova: Taking on Hate

November 18, 20163-bottom, Citizen JournalismAlan Headbloom, Arab American, Dearborn, Feel Like You Belong, National Network for Arab American CommunitiesJoanne

 

By Alan Headbloom – Feel Like You Belong

It’s often hard to be the kid at school who’s different from the others. It could mean you’re the short kid, the chubby kid, the kid with an accent… or the kid with a different religion. These days, that feeling of isolation and “otherness” can extend into the adult world, especially for Arab Americans. Joining Alan in studio is Nadia El-Zein Tonova, Director of the National Network for Arab American Communities, to talk about community building and their new Take On Hate initiative.

 

Alan Headbloom hosts Feel Like You Belong, a show filmed at WKTV focused on sharing the life stories of immigrants, expatriates, and refugees to the United States.
