The United States Department of State under the governance of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris has recently recognized April as the National Arab American Heritage Month. Stating in a public announcement on April 1st, 2021 through their official social media channels: “Americans of Arab heritage are very much a part of the fabric of this nation, and Arab Americans have contributed in every field and profession.”
The recognition of April as the National Arab American Heritage Month by the Department of State was mainly influenced by independent advocate efforts across the United States calling for inclusivity. Most notably the petition and social change campaign was initiated by Pierre Subeh, a Middle Eastern-American business expert and author.
Pierre Subeh makes a significant contribution to the modern history of Arab Americans with his accomplishments. He is also an eminent author, business expert, and award-winning executive producer. His social change campaign called the recognition to be critical as it celebrates Middle Eastern heritage in combatting post-9/11 anti-Arab sentiments and recognizing the social difficulties that Arab Americans face every day in their communities.
Following an impeccable educational qualification, he graduated from the Florida Virtual School in the Curaçao American Preparatory School Institute, he also attended Harvard Business School under a fully paid scholarship opportunity to their CORe program. Subeh is a columnist on business and marketing for Forbes and several other major publications.
In 2021, he openly criticized The Academy Awards for not having enough Arab-American representation, which picked up the media attention of the largest magazines and publications in the world to interview him. In the same year, he was also invited as a judge of honour to the American Business Awards where he judged over 221 submissions and helped determine the winners of “Best in Business”. At such a young age he has been featured for his business expertise on Forbes, The Washington Post, Yahoo News, CNBC, and The New York Post.
Making a difference by standing up against the stream and choosing to utilize his influence, knowledge, and power for a cause, Pierre Subeh is inspiring billions of youngsters all over the world. And his plans don’t end with NAAMH. Pierre is making headlines for his soon to be released book by the name of “Building Wealth Through An Army of Loyal Customers” as well as having his own tv show for businessmen by the name of “Pierre explains everything”.
