Guest Firoozeh Dumas is the author of the New York Times bestseller Funny in Farsi, now celebrating its 20th anniversary. I first discovered Firoozeh and her book in my early twenties. Funny in Farsi gave me permission to be unapologetically Iranian or Irooni . In today's episode, we'll explore the joys and challenges of embracing a multicultural identity, the transformative power of storytelling, and the profound impact of humor in bridging cultural divides. Plus, the worst financial advice Firoozeh received as a kid. Follow Firoozeh on Instagram.
