This is the fifth in Arab America’s series on American pathbreakers of Arab descent. The series includes personalities from entertainment, business, science, academia, and politics, among other areas. In this series, Arab America contributing writer, John Mason, seeks to represent the broad array of Arab Americans, including a mix of women and men, countries of origin, and fields of work. Our fifth pathbreaker is Joseph Abboud, Arab American, stellar menswear fashion designer and amazing entrepreneur, proud descendent of Lebanese Maronite Christians, and a generous donor to charitable causes.
