In today’s episode we'll be speaking with Leila Muhaizen, a Lebanese native who pursued the American dream in LA after graduating from the American University of Beirut. 

She initially followed a corporate path based on the advice of her parents but faced a turning point during the pandemic and almost took the walk of shame back home to Lebanon. 

Against all odds, she transformed her life, channeling the spirit of the Arab community into entrepreneurial success. Today, she stands as the founder of 'Baklava,' an Arab dating app designed to connect the Arab diaspora and celebrate Arab heritage.
