tnhassan1

Born and raised a Dearborn resident whose family lineage dates back to the beginnings of Dearborn. Married into an amazing Lebanese family who has changed my perspective on the world and culture unfamiliar to that in which I was brought up into. This perspective and life journey as taught me to see the beauty in our differences and inspired the desire to open up discussion about embracing and celebrating those differences.
