Growing Up Neem-Rooni- An Interview with Tehran von Ghasri

Learn Persian with Chai and Conversation - A podcast by Leyla Shams

Categories:

Tehran Von Ghasri is a half African American, half Iranian comedian who reads and speaks Farsi fluently. Originally, I wanted to interview Tehran to ask him about being raised in a half Iranian family and how his father managed to keep him interested in the Persian language and culture. However, our interview took place a couple weeks after the Black Lives Matter movement erupted in the United States and all over the world following the death of Geroge Floyd.
