SUMMARY:#FacesOfExchange Connection of 2021 with Mona Taha
DESCRIPTION:  \nOur first #FacesOfExchange of 2021 will feature Mona Taha on January 27\, 2021 at 11:00 AM EST (Washington\, DC Time).\nMona first came to the United States in 2010 on a “Changing Demographics and Multi-Culturalism in the U.S.” MRP.  Her original project was organized by Janice Brummond in our office and Michele Titi and Elizabeth Barry at Meridian International Center and went to Houston\, Minneapolis/Phoenix\, and ended in New York City.\n\nOur office will implement this as a virtual activity and that provides us a small budget\, so we will have three interpreters on the project to help facilitate communication.  The conversation will be in Arabic and we would love it if you could join us and invite resources from the previous International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) project and invite your membership\, leadership\, and potential new resources.  Mona will share how IVLP changed her impressions of the United States.  Her bio from our Faces Campaign:\n\nMona Taha Abdel Alim Attia is a prominent Egyptian women’s rights activist who first visited the United States through the International Visitor Leadership Program (IVLP) and defines it as a life-changing experience that helped her eliminate many stereotypes about the United States. Ms. Attia wrote a story inspired by her IVLP and the diversity of her fellow participants called\, “A Singing Bird in Washington\, D.C.” In her writing\, she explores stereotypes based on religion and culture and shows that our basic humanity has the potential to bring us together. Ms. Attia’s work to empower women in Egypt includes creation of a leadership program that has trained more than 700 women. Her work on the gender imbalance in business in Egypt has shown women business owners new income generating activities.  Since her IVLP\, Attia has shared with Egyptians her firsthand experiences of life in the United States. She is proud to have stayed in touch with fellow IVLP participants and continues to draw support and inspiration from the group.  Mona Taha Attia is an influencer seeking to build a better life for Egyptians by empowering women.\n\nOne of the key aspects that we’ve refined is a way to share potential new connections in the United States and that has worked out well\, and we look forward to sharing additional resources with Mona from your community.
