Bio

🔥I promote building cross cultural connections between societies through gastro diplomacy and Turkish coffee conversations. Click View Full Profile to see more 👇👇

After 11 years of working in cultural diplomacy, I want to continue to build bridges between Mainstream America and ethnic populations through the 500-year old Turkish coffee culture and rich cultural traditions. My Turkish Coffee Lady Foundation also supports women entrepreneurs and develops leadership programs by giving back financially as well as through job training and business opportunities. If you or someone you know is interested in connecting, follow me and let’s hop in a few rooms together. 🌍👥 🇺🇸🇹🇷☕️🥧🤝
