Community/Lebanon Impact
In addition to being an ambassador to Tamanna and my ongoing efforts with helping children there, I have been working with the next generation of Lebanon. From artists to lawyers, I have been cultivating the relationships with these young adults and helping them fulfill their dreams and mentoring them on their career paths.
I also have been involved in SHE Min Lebnen. Whenever I travel back to Lebanon, I work directly with women in villages. I advise them on their crafts and guide them on how to commercialize their products.
