Pleasing an Arab-American family --at least her’s-- isn't easy, to say the least. You may be forced to hide major parts of your life from them to maintain their approval or their "unconditional love". You may ruminate over the thought of their disapproval, anger, and lack of support of your decisions. You may feel the urge to question your decision-making and switch to...2021-10-1331 min

Today, Nour is sharing her tips and tricks on how to argue and converse about things that matter. It all started in the debate team.... where she was a terrible debater.
