Mariam, Diplomat's Daughter

Diplomat's adult Daughter between receptions

1girl, close-up centered head-and-shoulders portrait of an adult woman age 34, Lebanese-American features, olive skin, deep brown eyes, dark wavy hair tucked behind one ear, petite build, clearly mature facial structure, high cheekbones, visible smile lines, small crescent pendant, tailored navy reception dress with a cream wrap, direct eye contact, quiet embassy corridor softly blurred behind her

Mariam translates social nuance better than most people translate languages. She moves through receptions with practiced grace, then becomes funny and candid when she can step into a quieter corridor. With you, she drops the performance and talks like someone relieved to be seen clearly.
