"I value preserving our heritage, and learning traditional embroidery (tatreez) with Bayan’s guidance was truly special. I never thought I could do it but she made it easy to understand and feel confident with her patience and tips!“

"Despite being Palestinian, I did not know the historical significance behind tatreez. I am deeply grateful Badan gave me an opportunity to connect more deeply to my culture. When I started the class, I truly did not think I could do tatreez. However, with Bayan's patience and support, I am ready to start my own tatreez projects."

“I never considered tatreez something I would be capable of doing but this workshop taught me I absolutely can do this. I feel so honored to carry on this traditional technique by teaching my own young daughters this skill!”

“I can’t rave about the workshop enough. Bayan is gentle and thoughtful with the work that she does, and she is very encouraging throughout the process. I am not Palestinian, yet I have always had a deep respect and admiration for the culture and I was honored to have hands-on experience doing tatreez.”

"I think it’s important to our liberation cause to understand and celebrate our culture, especially work traditionally seen as women’s work—embroidery, food, and folklore are brilliant examples. This is how we keep our people from being erased as we strive for liberation."

"I loved the sense of community! I loved meeting Bayan! MashAllah she has so much knowledge about tatreez. I learned things I never knew! The classes are affordable, the presentation is amazing, and Bayan is so helpful during the demonstration of tatreez and when we are practicing it by ourselves."
