Dear Friends,

The month of May is designated nationwide as stroke month. Medical professionals are taking initiatives to share their knowledge about this condition, raising awareness about rapid changes in guidelines and treatment. As such, it is with great commitment that our community member Mrs. Sherene Bitar, RN, MPH, has taken the initiative and will lead the education session. Sherene has kindly offered to invite UNC stroke doctors to join the event and answer questions related to this topic.
You are all kindly invited to attend the education session. In advance, we would like to thank Mrs. Sherene Bitar for this great contribution to our community.
On behalf of the TLAC Board,

Lebanese Poetry By Zeina Hashem Beck
2018-03-25 16:00 - 18:00 | CAM Raleigh, 409 W Martin St, , Raleigh, NC, 27603
Please join us to welcome a poet from Lebanon, Zeina Hashem Beck, who will be in Raleigh to present her latest book, Louder than Hearts. The event will take place on March 25 at 4:00 pm, at the Contemporary Art Museum (CAM) of Raleigh, 409 W Martin St, Raleigh, North Carolina 27603.
Zeina Hashem Beck’s writing covers a variety of topics: Arab culture, home, exile, family narratives, language, identity, female voices, and religion. Her poetry often exists at the intersections of the personal & the political, the divine & the profane, the self & the other. She is interested in poetry that witnesses, resists the orientalist’s gaze, creates small bridges, and insists on loving the broken world, on the power of song even in the dark times. Educated in Arabic, English, and French, her poems are often reflections on linguistic and cultural translation.
