LAILA SANIE

I am Afghan, I am American, I am a painter, I am a quantum theorist, I am a student of religion, languages and life, and I am a human.  As a student of life I want to learn about that which I do not understand or that which I would like to better understand.  Race is an issue that surrounds me in my endeavors as a musician, historian and young woman in America.  Being a part of this exhibit as a facilitator will not only help me understand Race issues better but I hope that I will help others too.  It is an honor for me to volunteer at the Smithsonian.
