"Welcome to America"
"Welcome to America"
Our featured speaker is Zahra Bahremandi
Zahra is a resident of Glen Ellyn and moved here about a year ago shortly after escaping from Afghanistan under very dire circumstances. As the Taliban had her on a list and was searching for her, a network of people around the world came together to help her find safe passage to the United States. Zahra is truly an amazing person. She has lived in both Afghanistan and Iraq and is from a minority group.
Before fleeing Afghanistan, Zahra was a university professor, having defied all odds and opposition and getting a master's degree in linguistics. Zahra has appeared on CNN and spoken at various venues with her story being featured by Exodus World Services where she shared in video format at their annual dinner.
