Yemeni immigrants to share their experiences at Mahoning Valley Cultural Alliance event

Yemeni immigrants will share their stories and experiences immigrating to the U.S. in an event hosted by the Mahoning Valley Cultural Alliance.

This is a part of the organization’s upcoming Stories of Mahoning Valley Immigrants series that celebrates the rich diversity of cultures within the Mahoning Valley.

The Cultural Alliance invited Dr. Rashid Abdu, a native of Yemen and retired surgeon to share his life story from Yemen to the Mahoning Valley. There will also be a traditional Middle Eastern dance performed by Heather Abrams, a professional belly dancer.

The event will take place 5 p.m. Aug. 5 at A La Cart Catering in Canfield. The cost to attend is $35 for Mahoning Valley Historical Society members, and $40 for non-members. A meal will be provided by A La Cart.

Reservations are required and must be made before the deadline on July 30.
