Embassy Celebrates the Launch of First Afghan-American Magazine
The Embassy of Afghanistan hosted a reception in honor of Zeba Magazine, the first Afghan glossy monthly Lifestyle & Entertainment magazine to be released in the United States. Zeba, which translates to “Beautiful” in Dari, celebrates the rich culture of Afghanistan and the accomplishments of Afghan-Americans, while promoting democracy and modern culture. Printed in both Dari/Farsi and English, Zeba features stories on entertainment, health, sports, fashion, food, the arts and business. In his opening remarks, Ambassador Jawad encouraged the young professional attendees to get involved with the reconstruction of their country and praised Zeba for playing their part. “I am proud of young, successful Afghans like the staff of Zeba who have inspired many with their dedication and their passion. These talented young people that we are honoring tonight are representative of the new generation of Afghan-Americans who are truly embracing the opportunities that they have been given as U.S. citizens.”
