“I have cerebral palsy. I shake all the time,” Maysoon Zayid announces at the beginning of this exhilarating, hilarious talk. (Really, it’s hilarious.) “I’m like Shakira meets Muhammad Ali.” With grace and wit, the Arab-American comedian takes us on a whistle-stop tour of her adventures as an actress, stand-up comic, philanthropist and advocate for the disabled.

Yuri Kochiyama is now a blooming flower in our garden of social justice. The life and legacy of Yuri will continue to shed light and hope into the hearts of many, including Arab Americans. Through the darkest period of her experience in the Japanese internment camps - she found the courage to fight for justice for all regardless of race or ethnicity. She embodies hope, love and resilience that we continue to implement in our work to protect the civil rights of Arab and Muslim Americans.

Nadia Tonova is the Director of the National Network for Arab American Communities (NNAAC).
