Palestinian-American Comedian Making Her Mark in Male Dominated Field

Comedy is a field still dominated by men, but that's changing. Among the trendsetters is Suzie Afridi, a Palestinian-American stand-up comedian. Afridi says she's probably not living the life her parents had wanted for her when she was growing up in the West Bank.

VOA's Samina Ahsan takes a look at Afridi's unlikely journey. Originally published at - https://www.voanews.com/a/palestinian...
