Return to Tehran

Despite my guilt at leaving my family and friends behind in Iran after the protests of the Green Movement, I was eager to return to my safe life in Los Angeles. Yet, I knew I wanted to return to Iran and continue reporting again soon. Two years later, I returned and my experience was a turning point in my life. I am more committed than ever to reporting on Iran, and now I know the most important stories are not just on the streets. They are also hidden in the vibrant subculture and social landscape that thrives behind closed doors.
