Her name is Ghazaleh Kashi, and she lives in Tehran, the capital of Iran. Her first name is the Persian word for a beautiful animal; can you guess what animal that might be? In the following 13-minute videotaped interview, Ghazaleh herself will pronounce and explain her name for us. She will also share a few details and thoughts about herself, her family, her culture, her growing up years, and her current life in Iran. Ghazaleh thanks you for your attention and interest! If after the interview you have any questions or comments for her, please feel free to enter them in the “Comments” section that follows the video.
Ghazaleh, we thank you [Kheilee mamnoon] for being the second person to take part in this interview series! P.S. A final detail: Ghazaleh’s husband, Meysam Ahmadi, is both a video editor and creator by profession and has added his signature touches to this videotaped interview of his wife! We thank Meysam for the significant contributions of his love and time to make sharing this interview with us possible. We look forward to next month’s interview, when Meysam himself will be our guest!

Thank you for this interview, Ghazaleh and Leslie. I am especially intrigued that Ghazaleh wanted to bring up the topic of hijab and explain that there are differing opinions about it -- or different ways that women of different ages approach it. I thought it was interesting that Ghazaleh mentioned that, in her opinion, wearing hijab does not necessarily make a woman safer - that perhaps safety depends upon the woman's personality. I might add that dress in the United States is often a function of personality as well.
