Dear John,

We’re so happy to inform you that on Sunday, October 30th — after two years of virtual events — we are coming together in person to celebrate, reflect, and take action at this year's MPAC Convention.

We are excited to announce that Mo Amer will be our special guest.
We are so proud of Mo, who is breaking barriers and creating greater visibility for Muslims in comedy and television. His new series, MO, premiered on Netflix on August 24th. Check out the trailer ([link removed]) and watch the show ([link removed]) .

In the semi-autobiographical series, Mo plays a Palestinian refugee living in Houston, Texas with his family. Always one fleeting opportunity away from being granted asylum and gaining U.S. citizenship, Mo, his mother, and his siblings remain resilient in the face of painful setbacks through laughter and spiritual grounding.

Real and nuanced stories such as MO create windows into our rich and diverse experiences and cultures. This is a major moment for representation. Mo Amer continues to forge a path all his own.
"It’s the first time ever that a Palestinian has created [and is the] lead of his own show, and obviously, that’s part of our origin story.”
