I am not a writer, an architect or a filmmaker. Nor am I Muslim or Christian, nor Jewish or Buddhist. I’m just someone who wanted to do something I was passionate about. Doing marketing for Siegel & Strain Architects is sometimes fun but at times it can be difficult.

Voices for Peace

A little over a month ago, I asked for your help in finishing a public service announcement promoting understanding and peace. Thanks to the tremendous response and support, the project is now complete. This is the final version of the project featuring fifty Iranian Americans: who we are, what we believe and why we're for peace. A dedicated website about the participants and how the project got started is now up -- www.voicesforpeace.net. I am eternally grateful to this beautiful community of ours for believing in this project and opening so many doors to make it possible.
