You might think that a henna studio and a comedy stage can't ever come together, but my guest this week, Marena Riyad, would prove you wrong!

I talk to Marena, who founded the Haus of Henna AND Kufiya Comedy right here in the DFW Metro area and we discuss how she came into such unusual professions to begin.
I explore her passion for bringing to the forefront her Palestinian heritage through the art of story-telling and comedy AND how that has translated to her holding a multicultural Kufiya Comedy Festival this year, coinciding with world Kufiya Day!
