Dimensions of Diversity

Arab Americans in the Legal Community: Discrimination, Representation, and the Need for Advocacy


Listen Later

In this episode of Dimensions of Diversity we revisit a conversation Lloyd Freeman had during a webinar earlier this year celebrating Arab American Heritage Month. Lloyd welcomes three Arab American leaders from the legal community: Judge Shalabi, Rami Jabara, and Sandra Frantzen.

The panelists discussed the origins and purpose of both local and national Arab American Bar Associations, which were founded in response to community needs, discrimination, and a lack of representation. They shared personal experiences that motivated their advocacy, including facing FBI interrogations, navigating the post-9/11 climate, and enduring tragic hate crimes.

Dimensions of Diversity is a podcast created by Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney, highlighting diversity in the workplace. Hosted by Lloyd Freeman, Chief Experience Officer, the podcast features meaningful conversations with industry and community leaders working to advance D&I.
