Painting and Other Hobbies
Painting and Other Hobbies
During Covid I started to participate in storytelling events and shows. I frequently tell stories at Fresh Ground Stories in Seattle and recorded a story with two of my good friends for the UNESCO day of peace which you can see here.
I also am an active member of an Iranian non-profit: Alefba: I help run their storytelling shows and am a co-editor of the Alefba Magazine. I am also an active member of the youth, heritage, and Kankosh committees.
I am taking painting classes. Here is a sample of my work:
I play the Santour which is an Iranian musical instrument. If you like to hear what it sounds like here is a link.
I wrote a short book when I was VERY young, here is a link.
I like to learn more about history. I’ve taken and highly recommend the following coursera courses:
Russian History: from Lenin to Putin
The Holocaust: The Destruction of European Jewry
Internet History, Technology, and Security
I also like to read. Here is my goodreads page.
