Mexico elected its first woman and Jewish president in its 200-year history. Claudia Sheinbaum is an academic who shared a Noble Peace Prize for her work on climate change, but violence by criminal organizations is expected to be her greatest challenge. NBC’s Guad Venegas reports for TODAY.
Falling in love often requires a leap of faith. For Laurie Palermo, the leap of faith took the form of a religious conversion. Palermo, 38, and her partner, Eli Hayempour, 34, are one of four couples featured in the TLC series “Forbidden Love.” Each grapples with challenges posed by having different religious faiths and upbringings. The couple met while attending Alcoholics Anonymous meetings, they share in the first episode.
” The series shows Laurie's ambivalence about converting, and what changed her mind. She's a 'rule breaker' converting to 'one of the strictest religions,' as she puts it. “When Eli asked me to convert, at first, I said, ‘Absolutely not,’” Palermo says, adding that she couldn’t understand why her partner couldn’t accept her for who she was. Palermo had struggled with religion before. She turned away from the church after her father died.
