Middle Eastern Heritage Speakers

Cultural Richness: Experts Exploring Middle Eastern Cultures & Traditions

List of Middle Eastern Heritage Speakers

The Middle East and North Africa (MENA) is a geopolitical and transcontinental region that, throughout its modern history, has played a large and shifting role in regional and world politics. While many of these nations share a common cultural and linguistic heritage, the Middle East is home to a wide range of diverse religions, ethnicities, cultures, diasporas, and indigenous peoples. Whether they're celebrating their own heritage or are experts in Middle Eastern political and social issues, the journalists, political speakers, celebrities, and activists in this category spark important conversations about immigration, foreign affairs and national security, humanitarian aid, human rights, and cross-cultural communication. Whether you are planning an event for National Arab American Heritage Month (NAAHM), or otherwise looking to honor the contributions of generations of Middle Eastern Americans, these keynote speakers are a great addition to university and heritage events.
