The first time we met Farah Cowley, at a business networking event in Shreveport, her warm smile, Southern drawl, and friendly demeanor won us over. We’d never have guessed that Farah had immigrated to the United States from Amman, Jordan – as a 14 year-old-girl who spoke very little English – just six years prior. For Farah, the path from the Middle East to Deep South was fraught with dangers seen and unseen.
Her incredible journey, and what it says about America, is the subject of this podcast-exclusive episode of All Y’all.
All Y’all Live: Let’s Eat!
Mark your calendars: All Y’all will host a live storytelling event, “Let’s Eat!,” at Red River Brewing Co. in Shreveport at 1 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 4. “Let’s Eat!” will be our first-ever brunch event, and will be our fifth annual fundraiser for The Fidnto Award. All proceeds from ticket sales will be donated to an outstanding local organization that’s “Fidnto” do something wonderful. Tickets will be available soon.
We’re seeking stories for “Let’s Eat!” about food, cooking, eating, farming, hunger, diets, and more. If you’ve got a story that relates to food, we want to hear about it. Call our storyteller hotline at (318) 582-0665 or e-mail hello@allyallblog.com and tell us about your story!
