UPCOMING EVENTS

NIAC Los Angeles Presents:
Book Talk with Yasmine Mahdavi

March 31 | 8 pm EST | Online

Please join NIAC's Los Angeles chapter on Thursday, March 31 at 5pm PT/8pm ET for a very special virtual book talk with Iranian-American author Yasmine Mahdavi. Her new book, Roots in Iran: Stories of Visionary Women is a collection of stories about fifteen remarkable women with roots in Iran. Readers will learn about astronauts like Jasmin Moghbeli to Farnaz “Spider-Woman” Esmaeilzadeh and Katayoun Khosrowyar. Each story is complemented by brilliant, full-color portraits created by female artists with roots in the Middle East.

This special event will cap off our celebration of International Women's month in March. Joining Yasmine in this "fireside" chat discussion will be Dr. Shadi Seyedyousef, NIAC Los Angeles Leadership Council member who's an educator and activist.
