In the Palestinian diaspora, traditional embroidery serves as a means to find connection and identity. For some, this cultural practice is a way to stay rooted in their heritage.

A woman named Samar Kabouli has fond memories of gathering with her family to embroider fabric with traditional Palestinian patterns. She would sip cardamom-spiced coffee with the women in her family as they worked on their embroidery.

Further details about Kabouli's story and the significance of traditional embroidery in the Palestinian diaspora are available from KSAT 12, a local news source in San Antonio.
