A Peace of my Mind: Odeh Muhawesh
by John Noltner on May 08, 2012
Odeh Muhawesh spent the first 18 years of his life living in Jordan and now lives in the United States. In his own words, he was a Middle Easterner, and is now a MidWesterner. He travels often and has been to four continents. Odeh believes that deep down we are all the same. If you put John Doe from Iowa next to Abdallah Mohamed in a room and they got to know one another, they would find that they both have the same fears and the same dreams. It is imperative that we get to know one another if we are going to get along in this world.
