In recognition of Arab American Heritage Month, this event invites participants to explore and challenge common myths, misunderstandings, and biases about the Arab community. The discussion aims to deepen awareness of Arab American experiences and foster a more accurate and inclusive understanding of Arab identity.

As part of the Inclusion Talk Series for Arab American Heritage Month, this event—Never Enough: The Arab American Fight for Identity and Belonging—features Dr. Ed Hasan, a Palestinian-American Muslim, author, speaker, and professor. The talk explores the experiences of Arab Americans navigating identity, cultural expectations, and the struggle to belong in a society that often marginalizes their voices. Through stories of generational Sumud (steadfastness), Dr. Hasan highlights the resilience and ongoing efforts toward recognition and inclusion.
