The Iranian-American Women Foundation (IAWF) is one of the most impactful and invaluable organizations for the Iranian-American community. Not long ago, I found myself in the U.S., feeling isolated from my own people. Then, I discovered this incredible organization, and everything changed.

Through IAWF, I’ve found not just friends but a truly remarkable and passionate mentor, as well as a leader who is genuinely dedicated to solving our community’s problems—a leader who has become a friend to us all. Words cannot fully express the depth of my gratitude. This organization doesn’t just exist; it thrives on a passion to listen, to uplift, and to resolve the issues we face.

Being alongside Maryam Khosravani and her incredible team has been a dream come true. I used to only see her on TV, and now, I have the honor of working under her guidance as an OC Rising Leader for this prestigious organization.

Joining IAWF has been the best thing that’s ever happened to me. I've been able to meet brilliant minds, and I’ve come to understand that we are shaped by those who surround us. I couldn’t be more grateful to be part of such an extraordinary community.

As a member of the OC Rising Leaders for IAWF, I can confidently attest to the organization’s commitment to uplifting one another and promoting the importance of women’s success. IAWF empowers women by providing resources, mentorship, and networking opportunities that enhance their education, advance their careers, and foster healthy relationships. As a first-generation Iranian American, I initially faced challenges fully embracing my cultural identity, but my involvement with this organization has been eye opening. I am grateful to have found a community where I can support both women and the heritage I cherish deeply.
