ANNOUNCING THE WINNERSOF THE “WIN A ‘UNIBROW-LADY’ WALL HANGING” CONTEST

A warm welcome to everyone reading this announcement—whether you are new or a longtime visitor to this space!

This is Leslie Powell Ahmadi: a Black American Christian woman who met and married a man from a Muslim family—and for a period relocated with him to post-revolutionary Iran. Every month or so I enjoy bringing you information, an experience, an encounter, and/or a perspective related to Iran and its people. Something that may catch your attention. 

I have also written a memoir called Road Between Two Hearts: A Black American Bride Discovers Iran--where I’m the bride! But more about that in a later post!

• A thousand thanks to those who invited new people to join my newsletter list    --and of course to those of you who decided to subscribe! In a special drawing that just took place on March 1, my husband reached into a fishbowl and drew the name of a longtime subscriber, along with the name of one of her new recruits! Consequently, both have been jointly identified the winners of that drawing! And this coming week each will receive a handcrafted Iranian wall hanging of the popular Persian figure I affectionately call the “Unibrow Lady.” (For more details on the Unibrow Lady [known as Khatoon in Iran] and her iconic connection to Iranian culture, (re)visit my post from January, 2024.)​
• AND SO (drumroll...!) three cheers and hearty congratulations go to Ms. Kathie Clyde and her recruit Ms. Deb Zeiters: the two individuals whose names were drawn and (with their permission) are now publicly declared the winners! Each winner will be awarded one of the two Unibrow Lady wall hangings (from Iran) pictured below:

Again, congratulations to you, Deb and Kathie! And for those who entered the drawing but did not win this time, please know that future drawings for other prizes lie ahead! What’s more, I encourage those of you who’d like tips on sparking a romantic evening, Persian style (complete with luscious recipes, poetry, and songs) to visit my homepage (leslieahmadi.com), where you can subscribe and download a beautiful free booklet on that Valentine/love-themed topic!

Incidentally—if you have not yet signed up for my newsletter, I encourage you to do so (which will also automatically enable you to download the free booklet referenced above). Since today’s message is more of an announcement than newsletter (or blog) content, please expect my upcoming “official” newsletter to arrive at your email box a bit later this month!
