She witnessed the civil unrest of the 1979 Iranian Revolution. She lived in the Islamic Republic for eight years, maturing from a teenager to a mother during its most volatile times, including the Iran-Iraq war.
Fluent in Farsi and English, she draws from personal experience to speak on Iranian history and politics, women’s rights, religious freedom, and the immigrant experience, bringing a human voice to political headlines.
