Kurdish Hospitality | Little Kurdistan, USA

Kurdish refugees brought many cultural traditions with them to Nashville.

Many Kurds in Nashville consider guests to be family and will postpone any previous plans once a guest knocks at the door. Join NPT’s Linda Wei as she experiences Kurdish hospitality in Nashville first hand at the home of Sarkawt Mirza.
