HAMA fashion show in LA-USA

Hama Hinnawi, humanitarian fashion designer and founder of HAMA, was invited as a featured speaker at the launch of Tatreez Circle, a cultural wellness program hosted by MENA Community Center in Chicago. In this community-centered event, Hama explored the history and meaning of Palestinian tatreez embroidery, highlighting its roots in storytelling, identity, and resistance. She also shared how HAMA empowers refugee women by transforming traditional embroidery into high-fashion pieces while preserving heritage and supporting economic sustainability. This event brought together Chicago’s Arab and Palestinian communities to honor embroidery as a tool of cultural preservation, women’s empowerment, and intergenerational healing.
