Naw-Ruz with my friends and family, enjoying some vaziri kabob or chai, adding saffron to everything I make, having a perpetual love for pomegranates, speaking Farsi with my relatives—yet, still somehow I feel a longing, a disconnect.

Take the time to learn about what is happening to Iran, not through a Western lens, but rather from the people who live there, who have loved ones there. To my fellow Iranians, know that I still hold onto hope that we will be able to see our homeland with our own eyes in this lifetime.
