Born in Tyranny, Forged in Liberty
Source-published biography
I was born into an authoritarian regime in Iran, only a few years after a pro-democracy movement failed. My uncle was a pro-democracy student who was imprisoned at the time. When the movement he was part of collapsed, it paved the way for an authoritarian regime that took over, brutally punished its opponents, launched the nation into a war, and led it into poverty. We fled the country when my older brother was about to be conscripted into Iran’s military.

Beating the Odds - Together

Once we immigrated, my family grew up in poverty. Our only income came from a job my older brother had at a grocery store and money my mother could earn sewing neighbors’ clothes and baby-sitting.

Beating the Odds - Together
Source-published biography
My first job after college was as an AmeriCorps volunteer serving in a low-income school. The only reason I could afford to do that job and then go on to graduate school afterwards was because I had SNAP benefits, a small stipend for housing, and AmeriCorps Education Benefits that helped me pay my tuition.

Faith in Every Neighbor
Source-published biography
I grew up as a secular Muslim who experienced kindness from neighbors who were Evangelical pastors. I was introduced to Christianity by Mormon missionaries. I learned about the Sermon on the Mount, which greatly informed my political and religious ideology, through a Catholic priest and a progressive Methodist pastor. And I deepened my sense of self by attending both progressive and conservative bible studies, Muslim prayer groups, and other religious and spiritual activities. I also learned from amazing activists who did not identify with a religion but believed deeply in the value of all lives.

Science-Based, Human-Centered Addiction Recovery Addiction isn’t a moral failing or a decision--it’s disease that grips the human brain and refuses to let go.
