Female Iranian-American creatives will come together in conversation to discuss their passions, their experience pursuing unconventional careers, and navigating a culture that might not always see eye-to-eye. This is an open, organic dialogue — an opportunity to share, empathize, and feel a greater sense of support when it comes to taking the road less traveled.  

The producer of this series is the talented Jasmine Elist. Jasmine is an alum of The Groundlings Theatre Sunday Company and continues to perform sketch and improv comedy in theaters across Los Angeles.
