Throughout her life, history in the making has moved her pen around as a freelance journalist to record changes going on across the globe along with the subsequent reactions from those most passionately affected here in America. In 1988, she worked on an African-American news magazine, The Heritage, during Jesse Jackson’s climactic but unsuccessful bid to become the first African-American major party candidate for president. That same year, the Palestinian “Intifada” (Uprising) made headlines and she obtained reaction through countless interviews with Palestinian-Americans and people from all walks of life for her local television show Evening Arabesque, which she produced and wrote for five years. In 1989, when the Berlin Wall fell, she interviewed German-American reaction for a local radio station. During 1990-91’s Desert Storm, she broke down barriers to share Arab-American reaction on Evening Arabesque. Her interviews earned her an award from the Syracuse Chapter of the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) in 1994. Debra was the publicist for her parish’s Middle Eastern Festival for 30 years. She also worked public relations for PBS Celebrity Chef Julie Taboulie, America’s first TV Culinary Star with a lifestyle series about the Lebanese/Middle Eastern cuisine.weniger sehen
