Marjaneh Peyrovan

A tribute to her late grandmother Shirin, her podcast Shirin Conversations exists to empower younger and future Iranian Americans on an accessible platform. Host, Marjaneh Peyrovan, fills the vacancy in the digital space to include Iranian women in the collective conversation by creating a directory of "sweet" interviews that highlight Iranian women's triumphs through trials within their careers, education, upbringing, and their connection through their heritage.

    Episode 25: Yeganeh Mafaher

    On today’s episode, I am joined by Yeganeh Mafaher. Yeganeh is a 24-year-old activist born in Iran. Her career has taken off in multiple areas- comedy, life coach, and content creator. Recently she has received recognition for leading the conversation on Tiktok about daily Iran updates and what we can do to continue supporting Iranians in Iran. However, this isn’t new to her… she has always used her platform to educate others about Iran and the truth we often do not see.⁣

    Episode 24: Goldie Ghamari

    On today's episode, I am joined by Goldie Ghamari - the first Iranian Canadian politician to be elected in Canada. She’s been in office since 2018 and has always made sure she connects with her audience (not just online). As a politician, she knows the need to be in touch with her community, and as a millennial, she knows the best way is through social media. At the start of COVID, she started her TikTok account and has since dedicated much of her time to educating others about the lack of fundamental human rights in Iran, led under the Islamic Regime since 1979, and on September 16th when Mahsa Amini was murdered, she made sure it was part of her job to be the voice of the voiceless in Iran and bring awareness to the gruesome attacks happening daily to the Iranian people (especially to the women and children). She wants us to band together and helps, whether calling congress, posting on social media, or both. The more voices come together, the better it is for all of us.⁣ #MahsaAmini #IranProtests #IranRevolution #FreeIran

    Episode 23: Donya Bouzarjomehri

    On today’s episode, I am joined by Donya Bouzarjomehri. Donya is currently a strategy director living in Paris, France, after spending 5+ years in NYC working in advertising. Donya promised herself after studying abroad in Paris that she would one day return not as a student but to start her career. Then in 2016, as she was advancing in her career, she decided to honor that promise even if that meant quitting her job, moving to a new country, and figuring it out day by day… she calls her journey a “wild experience but also one that tests your patience and tests your passion.” For Donya, it was this drive to make it work, so she maintained her optimism to make that happen.

    Episode 22: Rhoda Rahaii

    On today’s episode, I am joined by Rhoda Rahaii. A seasoned tech executive with a strategic vision to take businesses to the next level. She is Mary Poppins for the corporate world, and she even comes equipped with a tool-belt filled with what every company needs to succeed. Her experience includes executive compensation, talent and performance management, executive coaching, expansion strategies, and more. Working for companies like Oliver Wyman, Mercer, Postmates, Compass, and most recently, GoPuff. However, don’t be fooled; Rhoda isn’t the type of consultant that comes into an organization to sit back. No. She will roll up her sleeve and get to work; that’s just her style.
