Today is our New Year. On Nowruz 2025, I wished to be with my mother, but if not, at least with the cherry blossom tree I planted and named after her in my Brooklyn garden. But they took that from me too.
First, the government of my birth country, Iran, forced me to leave my homeland, my mother, my father, my brother and…..
They tore me from the soil I belonged to. So, in my garden in New York, I planted trees after their names, a quiet rebellion against exile.
But even there, they came for me. They sent a gunman to my doorstep, forcing me to flee again. The day he stared into my eyes among my tall sunflowers, I didn’t know I was about to say another painful goodbye, this time to my trees, my plants, my sunflowers. I wasn’t just leaving a garden behind; I was leaving a piece of myself.
One day, when justice is served, I will rebuild, not just my life, but my garden. Not in fear, but in freedom.
Only a gardener, a lover of nature, could understand what it means to be torn from your roots…. Thank you America for saving my life to celebrate another Nowruz with my friends and new family here…

Maybe the opposite of fear isn't bravery, maybe the opposite of fear is ...love: A mini-sermon for a fearful time. (Includes a link to an 8 minute video of the message) https://t.co/53ZzjmoVMh
