I pushed myself to be part of the solution to things that bothered me. Like, why do Iranian-Americans seem to have only two things to say during rallies? “Free Iran” and “United Nations, Iran needs you attention.” Actually, make that “United Eh-nations, Iran e-needs eh-your attensheyn.”

At some point, things just have to be managed. Regardless of the ideology of the manager, they just need to be managed. This is not okay. This is mismanagement, a global neglect of the Iranian people. The government creating such crazy brain-drain, and the world community deluding itself on the benefits of sanctions. We cannot [...]

Irani’s must be honest with ourselves about the classism, sexism, religious segregation which exists. We need to heal the pain of our Zoroastrian, Christian, Jewish, Bahai brothers and sisters who were excluded from the [...]
