Leana Rogers

Armed with a Master of Science degree in Integrated Marketing Communications, Leana believes life is all about making choices. Which is fascinating, given: She chose to marry a man in 2002 whose homeland (Palestine) is only one consonant away from her own (Palatine); whose last name, Salamah, rhymes with her first name, Leana; whose first name (Waseem) means, “handsome” (which, she assures us, he certainly is!). Phew! Talk about words colliding! Not really. Among other things, Leana and Waseem share a deep love of NFL football (though neither has ever chosen to indulge in face-painting).
