Nawal Ziyadeh and Kwalismaller "Being a first generation Jordanian-American, I have been immersed in the Arabic culture from mensif to Um Kalthoum. My mother has instilled the value of community service from an early age, yet Arabesque was my first volunteer experience in the arts. This remarkable festival has been a great experience not only aesthetically, but culturally as well. My mother and I just joined the Friends because we had such a wonderful experience. Shukran, Arabesque!"
- Nawal Ziyadeh, first generation Jordanian-American [daughter of Kwala Nimri, Jordan]
