#15 - Dance With Me

This episode is all about the power of dancing in the face of utter horror and torture.

#14 - The Ayatollah is Dead

On 1 March 2026, the leader of the Islamic Government of Iran was killed. After 47 years, the Iranian people are finally free. But as an Iranian-Australian, my joy comes with a serious warning for my fellow Australians. We cannot call an ideology terrorism overseas and acceptable here at home. It's time to ask the questions our government won't. It's time to read the book they don't want you to read. And it's time to stop letting the word "Islamophobia" shut down the most important conversation Australia needs to have.

#13 - United we Stand: Shervin

Today I’m speaking with Shervin, an Australian Iranian, about grief, solidarity and the different ways we express resistance during this painful time for Iran. In this episode, we discuss mourning, cultural sensitivity and the importance of staying united while amplifying the voices of Iranians inside Iran. We may express solidarity differently but we share the same hope: freedom & safety for Australians, Iranians and all humanity.

#12 - Flags Matter

A flag went up. A message went out. In this episode of Flags Matter, we examine why the flag at the Iranian Embassy in Canberra is more than decoration; it’s a declaration.
