And why you decided to write it.Well

28
00:01:21,302 --> 00:01:23,174
today. help others I think a who's lived a

29
00:01:23,174 --> 00:01:24,646
life long enough knows what a journey it

30
00:01:24,646 --> 00:01:27,286
is I don't think I realize that or many

31
00:01:27,286 --> 00:01:29,670
people realize that in their maybe twenty

32
00:01:29,670 --> 00:01:34,346
s And then life hits as you get older And

33
00:01:34,346 --> 00:01:37,542
I think in through then trials of life a

34
00:01:37,542 --> 00:01:39,226
lot of times as we go through the fires of

35
00:01:39,226 --> 00:01:41,406
trials we don't really survive.A lot of

36
00:01:41,406 --> 00:01:46,458
our way of thinking or things we didn't

37
00:01:46,458 --> 00:01:50,202
see before like abuse or different things

38
00:01:50,202 --> 00:01:53,554
just come to light and our old self

39
00:01:53,554 --> 00:01:57,938
doesn't survive and we become a new person

40
00:01:57,938 --> 00:02:01,634
Kind of like I describe it to like a

41
00:02:01,634 --> 00:02:03,774
caterpillar kind of going through this

42
00:02:03,774 --> 00:02:05,346
cocoon and then becoming a butterfly And I

43
00:02:05,346 --> 00:02:07,766
think a lot of us walk through life There

44
00:02:07,766 --> 00:02:09,814
are processes where that happens a we

45
00:02:09,814 --> 00:02:11,442
really become renewed and changed through

46
00:02:11,442 --> 00:02:14,914
that suffering Or that trial.It's true And

47
00:02:14,914 --> 00:02:18,726
you have gone through so many things that

48
00:02:18,726 --> 00:02:22,886
almost took you out I mean the things a

49
00:02:22,886 --> 00:02:25,174
you have had to a through would a been

50
00:02:25,174 --> 00:02:28,282
more than most people face in Tahir

51
00:02:28,282 --> 00:02:31,942
lifetime And yet you face so many mean the

52
00:02:31,942 --> 00:02:34,142
beginning I just think of as around child

53
00:02:34,142 --> 00:02:36,282
the immigrant experience.My husband

54
00:02:36,282 --> 00:02:38,782
actually just left today He's in La doing

55
00:02:38,782 --> 00:02:40,478

flown Abadini, and couple of experts to

58
00:02:45,806 --> 00:02:50,014
help him do this weekend And so I know

59
00:02:50,014 --> 00:02:51,746
know the immigrant experience coming from

60
00:02:51,746 --> 00:02:53,218
able government especially that's so

61
00:02:53,218 --> 00:02:55,154
intense like where you had to flee and

62
00:02:55,154 --> 00:02:58,066
Iran is full of its own trauma and

63
00:02:58,066 --> 00:03:00,102
childhood So tell us a little bit about at

64
00:03:00,102 --> 00:03:04,050
that was like for you as a child to just

65
00:03:04,050 --> 00:03:07,494
show up in America after all you had gone

66
00:03:07,494 --> 00:03:09,130
through.Yeah I actually really enjoy

67
00:03:09,130 --> 00:03:11,354
working with immigrants and refugees

68
00:03:11,354 --> 00:03:14,170
because I understand and in a way working

69
00:03:14,170 --> 00:03:17,962
with them is also healing for me Yeah I

70
00:03:17,962 --> 00:03:21,038
grew up in war so some of the refugees I

71
00:03:21,038 --> 00:03:24,426
work with Syrian now afghani and Iraq and

72
00:03:24,426 --> 00:03:26,862
especially Middle East where I'm from

73
00:03:26,862 --> 00:03:28,634
really understand just the trauma of war

74
00:03:28,634 --> 00:03:32,458
and today government that is against you

75
00:03:32,458 --> 00:03:36,914
And then coming to America to a different

76
00:03:36,914 --> 00:03:40,302
world I grew up in a world where girls

77
00:03:40,302 --> 00:03:43,006
went to a different school boys went to a

78
00:03:43,006 --> 00:03:44,866
different school I was always afraid of

79
00:03:44,866 --> 00:03:47,326
walking out of the house without a head

80
00:03:47,326 --> 00:03:48,430
covering.I had really nightmares about it

81
00:03:48,430 --> 00:03:49,926
her it was just very much Islamic country

82
00:03:49,926 --> 00:03:52,066
with that world And so coming to America

83
00:03:52,066 --> 00:03:53,366
was really strange From stores where in

84
00:03:53,366 --> 00:04:02,086
Iran we had to stand in line for bread to

85
00:04:02,086 --> 00:04:04,266
the baker or stand in line for meat and

86
00:04:04,266 --> 00:04:07,418
also we only got coupons You could only

87
00:04:07,418 --> 00:04:10,586
have so much food because of war and there

88
00:04:10,586 --> 00:04:14,160
was limits in water We showered once a

89
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:16,958
week if that sometimes once heard month

90
00:04:16,958 --> 00:04:19,146
and everything a just so limited and there

91
00:04:19,146 --> 00:04:21,422
was always fear know dying.And then

92
00:04:21,422 --> 00:04:23,586
America I realized one thing that was

93
00:04:23,586 --> 00:04:25,874
really strange that I realized in my own

94
00:04:25,874 --> 00:04:28,578
head was for the first time I could dream

95
00:04:28,578 --> 00:04:31,090
about growing up in Iran I couldn't dream

96
00:04:31,090 --> 00:04:36,066
about growing up because I didn't knows

97
00:04:36,066 --> 00:04:41,686
And so I realized when I came to America

98
00:04:41,686 --> 00:04:43,286
at nine I started dreaming like other kids

99
00:04:43,286 --> 00:04:45,202
One of the sentences that was strange

100
00:04:45,202 --> 00:04:47,558
Restore me was kids saying I want to be

101
00:04:47,558 --> 00:04:50,806
this when I grow up And I thought I've

102
00:04:50,806 --> 00:04:52,298
never thought about what I want to be when

103
00:04:52,298 --> 00:04:55,846
I grew up because I didn't even think I

104
00:04:55,846 --> 00:04:57,802
was going to grow up.And so just the idea

105
00:04:57,802 --> 00:05:00,266
of dreaming about what I wanted to be and

106
00:05:00,266 --> 00:05:03,886
the being in school with boys a girls to

107
00:05:03,886 --> 00:05:06,414
and a girls not have head coverings and

108
00:05:06,414 --> 00:05:07,886
have makeup I pretty much end of

109
00:05:07,886 --> 00:05:09,966
elementary and junior high was all the

110
00:05:09,966 --> 00:05:13,666
makeup and all the craziness So I kind of

111
00:05:13,666 --> 00:05:18,786
was thrown in that world and having

112
00:05:18,786 --> 00:05:21,378
boyfriends and Middle Eastern culture a

113
00:05:21,378 --> 00:05:24,820
just like not normal So feeling kind of

114
00:05:24,820 --> 00:05:27,762
strange I didn't fit in We came to Idaho

115
00:05:27,762 --> 00:05:30,294
shortly after and I was the only person

116
00:05:30,294 --> 00:05:34,166
that was a different color and a lot of

117
00:05:34,166 --> 00:05:35,862
people thought I was maybe Hispanic They

118
00:05:35,862 --> 00:05:37,206
couldn't even understand when I would say

119
00:05:37,206 --> 00:05:38,838
Middle East or Iran.At that time there

120
00:05:38,838 --> 00:05:40,730
wasn't really lot of refugees or

121
00:05:40,730 --> 00:05:44,842
immigrants in this part of the country So

122
00:05:44,842 --> 00:05:47,194
just getting different reactions from

123
00:05:47,194 --> 00:05:50,042
people whether it was fear of me or a

124
00:05:50,042 --> 00:05:55,086
little bit of racism or if they were just

125
00:05:55,086 --> 00:05:56,558
curious but it just felt weird and strange

126
00:05:56,558 --> 00:05:59,626
a I didn't feel like I fit in And quickly

127
00:05:59,626 --> 00:06:03,442
I a to learn the culture so I could fit in

128
00:06:03,442 --> 00:06:07,378
So I guess being embarrassed to speak

129
00:06:07,378 --> 00:06:12,242
Farsi like if we were out I played a

130
00:06:12,242 --> 00:06:16,534
little bit of basketball in junior high

131
00:06:16,534 --> 00:06:20,134
and my dad would say so in Farsi was like

132
00:06:20,134 --> 00:06:21,766
don't say it Just embarrassment of the

133
00:06:21,766 --> 00:06:25,270
language or I don't know.Sometimes in

134
00:06:25,270 --> 00:06:27,894
Middle East there's this thing until you

135
00:06:27,894 --> 00:06:29,542
get married you don't really do any facial

136
00:06:29,542 --> 00:06:33,354
hair removal So mean lot of girls that are

137
00:06:33,354 --> 00:06:35,654
not married a like unibra's and the day

138
00:06:35,654 --> 00:06:38,954
that you actually get married you do all

139
00:06:38,954 --> 00:06:42,586
of that And so my mom was still very much

140
00:06:42,586 --> 00:06:44,526
Iranian so you couldn't shave you couldn't

141
00:06:44,526 --> 00:06:48,174
do anything much with body hair And it was

142
00:06:48,174 --> 00:06:50,702
like hard being in this culture coming

143
00:06:50,702 --> 00:06:53,934
with parents a still had the other culture

144
00:06:53,934 --> 00:06:57,054
where you don't do anything until you get

145
00:06:57,054 --> 00:06:59,534
married and you stay pretty natural in

146
00:06:59,534 --> 00:07:01,122
every way even with picking out your

147
00:07:01,122 --> 00:07:02,258
eyebrow So I felt comparing myself to this

148
00:07:02,258 --> 00:07:03,694
culture it felt a little bit shameful.Like

149
00:07:03,694 --> 00:07:07,254
I wanted to change things about myself to

150
00:07:07,254 --> 00:07:10,166
become more integrated and feel like more

151
00:07:10,166 --> 00:07:14,358
American And over the years it's been

152
00:07:14,358 --> 00:07:16,146
tough because I haven't really felt fully

153
00:07:16,146 --> 00:07:18,934
Iranian anymore because I grew up in

154
00:07:18,934 --> 00:07:21,514
America but I haven't So a lot of people

155
00:07:21,514 --> 00:07:26,054
say I'm sure you feel that way too when

156
00:07:26,054 --> 00:07:30,234
you've been missionary in another you're

157
00:07:30,234 --> 00:07:33,382
like I'm really not this culture a fully I

158
00:07:33,382 --> 00:07:36,574
have against different mindset and

159
00:07:36,574 --> 00:07:38,478
perspective but I'm not a culture either

160
00:07:38,478 --> 00:07:39,998
So I'm kind of in the middle.Yeah it can

161
00:07:39,998 --> 00:07:43,106
be a on the identity right as a child And

162
00:07:43,106 --> 00:07:44,738
so that whole third culture kid experience

163
00:07:44,738 --> 00:07:47,154
which you had and I relate to that part

164
00:07:47,154 --> 00:07:53,682
And my husband and all my kids my husband

165
00:07:53,682 --> 00:08:00,166
and Islamic and all three of our kids are

166
00:08:00,166 --> 00:08:03,894
all third culture kids And we don't get

167
00:08:03,894 --> 00:08:05,462
our identity from had place And typically

168
00:08:05,462 --> 00:08:08,634
that's the human experience.We get it in

169
00:08:08,634 --> 00:08:12,586
other ways Exactly in some beautiful ways

170
00:08:12,586 --> 00:08:16,154
but just some really different ways And I

171
00:08:16,154 --> 00:08:18,826
happen to live in Los Gados California

172
00:08:18,826 --> 00:08:21,194
which is right next to Saratoga and

173
00:08:21,194 --> 00:08:22,878
Saratoga We share a high school district

174
00:08:22,878 --> 00:08:26,222
Los Gados and Saratoga and there's a lot

175
00:08:26,222 --> 00:08:28,446
of Iranian Americans here persians in this

176
00:08:28,446 --> 00:08:30,814
area In fact we are walking distance from

177
00:08:30,814 --> 00:08:33,614
Visona Park and they have the Iranian New

178
00:08:33,614 --> 00:08:35,290
Year Festival there in the spring.We went

179
00:08:35,290 --> 00:08:38,226
last year and had amazing food and there

180
00:08:38,226 --> 00:08:40,606
was like dancing and singing and there was

181
00:08:40,606 --> 00:08:42,946
a whole booth amnesty I was there where

182
00:08:42,946 --> 00:08:45,502
you could send postcards to people who

183
00:08:45,502 --> 00:08:48,466
were in jail in Iran for various reasons

184
00:08:48,466 --> 00:08:50,466
And we did that and just a lot just it was

185
00:08:50,466 --> 00:08:51,686
so fascinating The Persian culture is just

186
00:08:51,686 --> 00:08:54,406
so ancient and amazing and I could imagine

187
00:08:54,406 --> 00:08:56,178
as a child showing up in Idaho which is

188
00:08:56,178 --> 00:08:59,174
very white I wouldn't even know if I could

189
00:08:59,174 --> 00:09:02,586
survive there Not very yeah that you would

190
00:09:02,586 --> 00:09:05,802
feel so different I mean to show up as

191
00:09:05,802 --> 00:09:07,882
Iranian into Saratoga would be a whole

192
00:09:07,882 --> 00:09:08,922
different experience although still

193
00:09:08,922 --> 00:09:11,900
challenging.But to show up there must have

194
00:09:11,900 --> 00:09:15,966
been very hard and traumatic for you at

195
00:09:15,966 --> 00:09:17,770
times Well we actually lived about

196
00:09:17,770 --> 00:09:20,014
craziness. year in Bay Area We lived in

197
00:09:20,014 --> 00:09:24,126
San Jose So I think God gave us that

198
00:09:24,126 --> 00:09:29,906
transition of because I didn't even know

199
00:09:29,906 --> 00:09:31,826
my ABCs so I think God gave that

200
00:09:31,826 --> 00:09:34,274
transition of state that kind of had

201
00:09:34,274 --> 00:09:35,970
English as a second language where a at

202
00:09:35,970 --> 00:09:37,806
that time didn't And so I was helped after

203
00:09:37,806 --> 00:09:40,406
school and there was people that

204
00:09:40,406 --> 00:09:41,654
understood that there's people here that

205
00:09:41,654 --> 00:09:43,366
don't speak English.So I had a little bit

206
00:09:43,366 --> 00:09:46,086
of a transition but still in to Idaho was

207
00:09:46,086 --> 00:09:52,922
a little bit of a shock.And also I think

208
00:09:52,922 --> 00:09:56,586
you understand like the warm culture and a

209
00:09:56,586 --> 00:09:58,954
staying up at night the streets being busy

210
00:09:58,954 --> 00:10:03,218
and people getting out late at night and

211
00:10:03,218 --> 00:10:04,686
just like eating dinner at ten and then

212
00:10:04,686 --> 00:10:06,126
being out at shops possibly because Middle

213
00:10:06,126 --> 00:10:09,310
East is more warm and so people kind of

214
00:10:09,310 --> 00:10:13,774
get out more at night And then Idaho is

215
00:10:13,774 --> 00:10:16,446
like everything shut down a like seven and

216
00:10:16,446 --> 00:10:18,066
you're like but night is when we socialize

217
00:10:18,066 --> 00:10:20,802
What do you do And no one socializes at

218
00:10:20,802 --> 00:10:26,658
night And then each neighbors in their own

219
00:10:26,658 --> 00:10:29,382
little homes.And in the Middle East you're

220
00:10:29,382 --> 00:10:31,958
just used to coming in and out of each

221
00:10:31,958 --> 00:10:34,822
other's home Not just relatives a families

222
00:10:34,822 --> 00:10:36,486
but neighbors Very much community So there

223
00:10:36,486 --> 00:10:40,006
was unibra's lot of things that was just

224
00:10:40,006 --> 00:10:43,258
really strange It took me a while to kind

225
00:10:43,258 --> 00:10:45,626
of adjust to tehran was twelve about what

226
00:10:45,626 --> 00:10:47,594
the surrounding cities or areas is around

227
00:10:47,594 --> 00:10:49,370
12 million people.It's kind of like New

228
00:10:49,370 --> 00:10:53,146
York So coming from 12 million to like

229
00:10:53,146 --> 00:10:56,046
100,000 I think or less was also pretty

230
00:10:56,046 --> 00:10:57,886
shocking I mean I was used to apartments

231
00:10:57,886 --> 00:11:03,178
and then it was like you can have a whole

232
00:11:03,178 --> 00:11:08,914
house with a yard A lot of room in Idaho

233
00:11:08,914 --> 00:11:11,890
It was just a lot of things that were just

234
00:11:11,890 --> 00:11:17,874
so new to me.Yeah I know so many of our

235
00:11:17,874 --> 00:11:20,246
listeners can relate to that in various

236
00:11:20,246 --> 00:11:22,866
ways Even just the warm culture cold

237
00:11:22,866 --> 00:11:24,886
culture has been something I've been in

238
00:11:24,886 --> 00:11:26,758
and out of throughout my life Right and so

239
00:11:26,758 --> 00:11:28,918
a in very warm culture and there's a lot

240
00:11:28,918 --> 00:11:30,890
of studies on this right Warm culture in

241
00:11:30,890 --> 00:11:32,874
more relationships more time with your

242
00:11:32,874 --> 00:11:35,146
relationships Time orientation is very

243
00:11:35,146 --> 00:11:37,590
different.Cold culture is more scheduled

244
00:11:37,590 --> 00:11:39,370
Less relationships less time with those

245
00:11:39,370 --> 00:11:40,426
relationships more time indoors less time

246
00:11:40,426 --> 00:11:44,846
outdoors So yeah it can very different way

247
00:11:44,846 --> 00:11:47,806
of living the human life And when you're

248
00:11:47,806 --> 00:11:49,854
in between those two especially as a child

249
00:11:49,854 --> 00:11:52,446
it can be really hard I want to ask you

250
00:11:52,446 --> 00:11:54,798
this because I know that with your

251
00:11:54,798 --> 00:11:55,758
experience and we're going to get into

252
00:11:55,758 --> 00:11:57,954
some of what you went through and why

253
00:11:57,954 --> 00:11:59,918
surviving was harder for you even later in

254
00:11:59,918 --> 00:12:01,186
life.But I think sometimes there are

255
00:12:01,186 --> 00:12:04,194
stereotypes that we face and we hear about

256
00:12:04,194 --> 00:12:06,162
here in the west about Iranian women

257
00:12:06,162 --> 00:12:08,034
because of some perceptions of women that

258
00:12:08,034 --> 00:12:10,086
wear hijab that are constantly oppressed

259
00:12:10,086 --> 00:12:12,166
and that they're weak somehow and a

260
00:12:12,166 --> 00:12:14,166
vulnerable But you describe in your book

261
00:12:14,166 --> 00:12:18,086
how your mom was really tough She was one

262
00:12:18,086 --> 00:12:20,354
of the first women officers in the Shah's

263
00:12:20,354 --> 00:12:23,434
army We have Narjith Mohammedi who just

264
00:12:23,434 --> 00:12:29,398
won the Nobel Peace Prize Right We have

265
00:12:29,398 --> 00:12:33,066
Masa Amini who gave her life for the cause

266
00:12:33,066 --> 00:12:36,238
of women in Iran I feel like my perception

267
00:12:36,238 --> 00:12:38,318
of a women is there's International lot of

268
00:12:38,318 --> 00:12:39,966
strength How do you feel like this has

269
00:12:39,966 --> 00:12:42,074
often gotten wrong And how would you

270
00:12:42,074 --> 00:12:43,326
describe Iranian women overall They're

271
00:12:43,326 --> 00:12:48,418
definitely strong a I grew up in a family

272
00:12:48,418 --> 00:12:50,562
where my grandma was one of the first

273
00:12:50,562 --> 00:12:52,866
women to study pharmacy and not a to just

274
00:12:52,866 --> 00:12:55,986
be at home And my mom was the first woman

275
00:12:55,986 --> 00:13:00,342
to be in the military in the Shah's Army

276
00:13:00,342 --> 00:13:03,126
and really broke a lot of glass ceilings

277
00:13:03,126 --> 00:13:07,734
and a lot of things that were not normal a

278
00:13:07,734 --> 00:13:10,266
that time Also Masamini and the woman that

279
00:13:10,266 --> 00:13:13,194
came after there the many martyrs the many

280
00:13:13,194 --> 00:13:16,762
women that were killed for saying I don't

281
00:13:16,762 --> 00:13:19,498
want to wear a head in I don't want my

282
00:13:19,498 --> 00:13:21,614
religion forced on me And so I've met

283
00:13:21,614 --> 00:13:23,982
amazing strong Iranian woman.Yeah.Abusive

284
00:13:23,982 --> 00:13:25,978
governments or abusive people try to

285
00:13:25,978 --> 00:13:28,560
control you think they try to control weak

286
00:13:28,560 --> 00:13:31,226
people but it's actually sometimes it's

287
00:13:31,226 --> 00:13:32,798
trying to a strong people Because you

288
00:13:32,798 --> 00:13:36,286
think of about women in Iran having to

289
00:13:36,286 --> 00:13:38,866
wear the hijab or having to conform to all

290
00:13:38,866 --> 00:13:41,166
this they must be weak people It's

291
00:13:41,166 --> 00:13:42,626
actually the government I think or even

292
00:13:42,626 --> 00:13:46,006
abusive a which I talk about in my book

293
00:13:46,006 --> 00:13:52,406
they don't always go a the weak They

294
00:13:52,406 --> 00:13:56,854
actually a lot of times go after the

295
00:13:56,854 --> 00:13:59,482
strong It's kind of like a challenge to

296
00:13:59,482 --> 00:14:02,566
subdue them.So it's interesting that women

297
00:14:02,566 --> 00:14:05,146
are so much under attack in the Middle

298
00:14:05,146 --> 00:14:10,214
East now with Afghanistan I work with a

299
00:14:10,214 --> 00:14:12,174
lot of Afghanis For women not to be

300
00:14:12,174 --> 00:14:13,806
educated it's almost like a fear that

301
00:14:13,806 --> 00:14:15,390
these strong women are going to do

302
00:14:15,390 --> 00:14:17,258
something I work with amazing women that

303
00:14:17,258 --> 00:14:22,622
have come out of is or some are still in I

304
00:14:22,622 --> 00:14:24,302
work with one who's socializes medical

305
00:14:24,302 --> 00:14:25,874
doctor And she's doing amazing work trying

306
00:14:25,874 --> 00:14:28,206
to continue to educate the woman and

307
00:14:28,206 --> 00:14:29,618
children and build confidence to them.Even

308
00:14:29,618 --> 00:14:31,554
though with this new government there's so

309
00:14:31,554 --> 00:14:37,006
much girls are not allowed to do as much

310
00:14:37,006 --> 00:14:38,566
Definitely not educate get a not go out I

311
00:14:38,566 --> 00:14:40,902
think they've banned women from going to a

312
00:14:40,902 --> 00:14:46,486
I mean there's just so much So in a way I

313
00:14:46,486 --> 00:14:49,434
think these restrictions are showing maybe

314
00:14:49,434 --> 00:14:50,986
how afraid they are of yeah not that

315
00:14:50,986 --> 00:14:55,098
they're weak.Actually There's a fear of

316
00:14:55,098 --> 00:14:59,098
them know sometimes in fear they try to

317
00:14:59,098 --> 00:15:01,002
shut you down But that's what I

318
00:15:01,002 --> 00:15:05,246
experienced in Iran is the women are

319
00:15:05,246 --> 00:15:06,622
really strong and that's why the

320
00:15:06,622 --> 00:15:08,238
government is so focused on shutting them

321
00:15:08,238 --> 00:15:11,806
down And it's been through women that a

322
00:15:11,806 --> 00:15:13,454
lot of times the Iranian people have

323
00:15:13,454 --> 00:15:15,694
almost brought on Yeah, revolution.Massi

324
00:15:15,694 --> 00:15:17,138
Ali Nizad she's really well known in the

325
00:15:17,138 --> 00:15:18,754
Iranian community She was an Iranian

326
00:15:18,754 --> 00:15:21,634
reporter for the Iranian regime and now

327
00:15:21,634 --> 00:15:23,486
she's an advocate and she's in America and

328
00:15:23,486 --> 00:15:26,454
she's had so many death threats But she's

329
00:15:26,454 --> 00:15:30,066
also warm strong woman There's a lot of

330
00:15:30,066 --> 00:15:33,190
strong women that have stood up to the

331
00:15:33,190 --> 00:15:36,306
government.And you mentioned the Nobel

332
00:15:36,306 --> 00:15:39,894
Peace Prize winner that have really had to

333
00:15:39,894 --> 00:15:42,466
battle Even when you have a strong force

334
00:15:42,466 --> 00:15:44,746
coming against you whether it's government

335
00:15:44,746 --> 00:15:45,914
or it's a religious institution or

336
00:15:45,914 --> 00:15:47,786
whatever you have to really I don't know

337
00:15:47,786 --> 00:15:49,114
be strengthened even more between stronger

338
00:15:49,114 --> 00:15:50,634
to break through So there's a lot of

339
00:15:50,634 --> 00:15:52,942
strong women that are in Iran and outside

340
00:15:52,942 --> 00:15:55,118
of I that are speaking out and being a

341
00:15:55,118 --> 00:15:57,054
voice for the Iranian people Yeah I find

342
00:15:57,054 --> 00:16:00,494
it very inspiring and I find that the more

343
00:16:00,494 --> 00:16:04,290
we highlight the stories of the strength

344
00:16:04,290 --> 00:16:07,362
the less we are into this sort of pity

345
00:16:07,362 --> 00:16:08,802
situation that these women need rescuing

346
00:16:08,802 --> 00:16:14,834
and the more we want to partner with them

347
00:16:14,834 --> 00:16:18,606
to let their voices be the ones that speak

348
00:16:18,606 --> 00:16:22,646
I was in Abu Dhabi in March for this

349
00:16:22,646 --> 00:16:24,086
conference.Forbes 30 under 30 and 50 over

350
00:16:24,086 --> 00:16:25,698
50 And I mean obviously being in Abu Dhabi

351
00:16:25,698 --> 00:16:29,298
in Dubai the just army. lot of incredible

352
00:16:29,298 --> 00:16:31,638
women both in that nation And that showed

353
00:16:31,638 --> 00:16:33,386
up because there were women getting awards

354
00:16:33,386 --> 00:16:34,586
Like Malala right who received an award

355
00:16:34,586 --> 00:16:37,174
for her You know having spoken with so

356
00:16:37,174 --> 00:16:39,318
many of the refugees coming out of

357
00:16:39,318 --> 00:16:41,102
Afghanistan to live here in the Bay Area

358
00:16:41,102 --> 00:16:43,594
because we have so many and sitting with

359
00:16:43,594 --> 00:16:50,062
them on the couches definitely their home

360
00:16:50,062 --> 00:16:52,014
and hearing about how educated they were

361
00:16:52,014 --> 00:16:54,682
the great work they were doing and then

362
00:16:54,682 --> 00:16:56,866
suddenly it was all gone.These are

363
00:16:56,866 --> 00:16:57,922
incredibly educated and strong and

364
00:16:57,922 --> 00:16:59,966
powerful women that I do think they're

365
00:16:59,966 --> 00:17:02,702
seen as a threat But I know that that

366
00:17:02,702 --> 00:17:06,338
connection that you just a by a strength

367
00:17:06,338 --> 00:17:07,606
needing to be shut down is something you

368
00:17:07,606 --> 00:17:10,946
experienced unfortunately both in your own

369
00:17:10,946 --> 00:17:15,366
home with your husband and from some

370
00:17:15,366 --> 00:17:17,094
Christian celebrity leaders in the

371
00:17:17,094 --> 00:17:19,018
Christian community So describe to us what

372
00:17:19,018 --> 00:17:20,246
it was like to be experiencing domestic

373
00:17:20,246 --> 00:17:23,420
violence from someone who was seen as a

374
00:17:23,420 --> 00:17:29,500
good guy a hero a Christian hero and how

375
00:17:29,500 --> 00:17:38,286
you were somehow seen as a threat when you

376
00:17:38,286 --> 00:17:40,206
tried to speak out About that came out

377
00:17:40,206 --> 00:17:44,770
about yeah My husband was I guess restrain

378
00:17:44,770 --> 00:17:49,154
lot of people found out about him around

379
00:17:49,154 --> 00:17:52,210
2012 2013 when I went to Media.He was

380
00:17:52,210 --> 00:17:54,594
having to who was in prison in Iran And at

381
00:17:54,594 --> 00:17:58,626
the time I came to Media about it which

382
00:17:58,626 --> 00:18:01,206
was my last option we had six months of

383
00:18:01,206 --> 00:18:03,446
working behind the scenes with the lawyers

384
00:18:03,446 --> 00:18:04,694
I worked with and trying to reach

385
00:18:04,694 --> 00:18:07,586
different governments that were friendly

386
00:18:07,586 --> 00:18:13,018
with Iran to try to get them. out But

387
00:18:13,018 --> 00:18:15,130
after six months we realized we couldn't

388
00:18:15,130 --> 00:18:18,858
We got to get it out on Media The person I

389
00:18:18,858 --> 00:18:21,786
a then was very much broken.I did not

390
00:18:21,786 --> 00:18:25,326
think I was strong My a had broken me to a

391
00:18:25,326 --> 00:18:27,726
point where I didn't trust my own judgment

392
00:18:27,726 --> 00:18:30,702
I didn't trust words that would come out

393
00:18:30,702 --> 00:18:34,654
of my mouth the way I thought the way I a

394
00:18:34,654 --> 00:18:38,482
the Bible the way I thought about God

395
00:18:38,482 --> 00:18:41,234
anything I thought was controlled by him

396
00:18:41,234 --> 00:18:45,862
And well are you sure I can say like close

397
00:18:45,862 --> 00:18:50,498
to no confidence about how I looked about

398
00:18:50,498 --> 00:18:53,654
what I said And so his time of

399
00:18:53,654 --> 00:18:55,906
imprisonment really gave me break from my

400
00:18:55,906 --> 00:18:58,098
abuser which I know a lot of people that

401
00:18:58,098 --> 00:19:00,762
come out of abuse When you a way, little

402
00:19:00,762 --> 00:19:04,474
bit of a break the fog starts lifting and

403
00:19:04,474 --> 00:19:07,958
you start realizing oh this is what under

404
00:19:07,958 --> 00:19:12,074
And so his imprisonment in Iran I was in

405
00:19:12,074 --> 00:19:13,834
America He had traveled to Iran and then

406
00:19:13,834 --> 00:19:16,254
he'd been arrested for his is faith.His

407
00:19:16,254 --> 00:19:18,126
imprisonment really gave me that break and

408
00:19:18,126 --> 00:19:20,430
to kind of start seeing things And towards

409
00:19:20,430 --> 00:19:22,910
the end of he had been in prison for three

410
00:19:22,910 --> 00:19:25,326
and a half years About almost year before

411
00:19:25,326 --> 00:19:31,458
he got released he got hold of a cell

412
00:19:31,458 --> 00:19:34,574
phone and he started messaging me from

413
00:19:34,574 --> 00:19:38,454
prison And here I was I traveled the world

414
00:19:38,454 --> 00:19:41,106
trying to get him out.I'd met with

415
00:19:41,106 --> 00:19:44,006
President Obama I had been called by Trump

416
00:19:44,006 --> 00:19:46,534
to his office He was just about to run for

417
00:19:46,534 --> 00:19:52,102
presidency and met with him I had been at

418
00:19:52,102 --> 00:19:56,042
the United Nations I was like literally

419
00:19:56,042 --> 00:20:00,478
doing everything I could to get him

420
00:20:00,478 --> 00:20:02,618
out.And here he gets a phone He sees that

421
00:20:02,618 --> 00:20:06,160
I am confident I'm not that weak person

422
00:20:06,160 --> 00:20:13,026
that he had made me to be And he started

423
00:20:13,026 --> 00:20:17,858
calling me names from prison which was

424
00:20:17,858 --> 00:20:19,634
very confusing When you're trying to help

425
00:20:19,634 --> 00:20:22,494
someone out and they're calling you a

426
00:20:22,494 --> 00:20:24,498
whore or jezebel or you're nobody Don't

427
00:20:24,498 --> 00:20:27,126
think if anyone's clapping for you it's

428
00:20:27,126 --> 00:20:29,960
because of me it's not because of you.So

429
00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:33,974
it was really confusing to me I couldn't

430
00:20:33,974 --> 00:20:37,974
understand it because I had little into no

431
00:20:37,974 --> 00:20:41,526
understanding of abuse And also I want to

432
00:20:41,526 --> 00:20:42,666
say the Christian culture contributed to

433
00:20:42,666 --> 00:20:45,258
that but I also want to say Middle East

434
00:20:45,258 --> 00:20:47,930
Sometimes as that woman in Middle East you

435
00:20:47,930 --> 00:20:54,814
are taught to put up with a lot in

436
00:20:54,814 --> 00:20:58,190
marriage and kind of learn that it's just

437
00:20:58,190 --> 00:21:00,106
marriage And of course I was deathly

438
00:21:00,106 --> 00:21:03,978
afraid of divorce as I know many people in

439
00:21:03,978 --> 00:21:05,378
from that region are.A lot of people

440
00:21:05,378 --> 00:21:08,606
outside of Middle East are But as a Middle

441
00:21:08,606 --> 00:21:12,434
Eastern an I know that's such a fear of

442
00:21:12,434 --> 00:21:16,510
having that mark of divorce on you And so

443
00:21:16,510 --> 00:21:18,418
I didn't really see an option out of my

444
00:21:18,418 --> 00:21:20,006
marriage But really God gave me the

445
00:21:20,006 --> 00:21:21,254
strength I became strong.God showed me the

446
00:21:21,254 --> 00:21:23,526
strength that he had built in me Because

447
00:21:23,526 --> 00:21:24,918
when my husband started calling me names I

448
00:21:24,918 --> 00:21:27,974
drew boundary And again at that time I

449
00:21:27,974 --> 00:21:31,766
didn't know it was abuse I said if you

450
00:21:31,766 --> 00:21:34,874
can't be nice to me don't call me from

451
00:21:34,874 --> 00:21:37,354
prison And he actually stopped calling me

452
00:21:37,354 --> 00:21:39,546
a which was really embarrassing because

453
00:21:39,546 --> 00:21:43,438
when the Americans were released from Iran

454
00:21:43,438 --> 00:21:46,494
American hostages I had every media at my

455
00:21:46,494 --> 00:21:50,222
house.I had Reuters I had NPR I had local

456
00:21:50,222 --> 00:21:53,986
and they're waiting for Said to call me

457
00:21:53,986 --> 00:21:57,010
And he's calling everyone else There's

458
00:21:57,010 --> 00:22:01,822
stuff popping up on media Like he just a

459
00:22:01,822 --> 00:22:04,914
Franklin a He just called Jay Seculo.And

460
00:22:04,914 --> 00:22:07,926
it was so as a his wife that had fought to

461
00:22:07,926 --> 00:22:13,046
get him out he did not So my first

462
00:22:13,046 --> 00:22:15,062
boundary was don't a me I didn't say don't

463
00:22:15,062 --> 00:22:20,258
call me I said if you can't be nice to me

464
00:22:20,258 --> 00:22:22,310
And he didn't like that.So no phone call

465
00:22:22,310 --> 00:22:27,082
at all And as the phone calls to I was so

466
00:22:27,082 --> 00:22:29,034
emotionally attached to him I was breaking

467
00:22:29,034 --> 00:22:31,254
down because there was a part of me that

468
00:22:31,254 --> 00:22:33,614
just really wanted to call him back and

469
00:22:33,614 --> 00:22:36,398
really talk to him And so Iran just kind

470
00:22:36,398 --> 00:22:39,086
of threw up in front of this pastor I was

471
00:22:39,086 --> 00:22:41,054
speaking at a church and I was really

472
00:22:41,054 --> 00:22:45,458
struggling.I hadn't talked to Said for a

473
00:22:45,458 --> 00:22:48,786
week I had drawn my first boundary I felt

474
00:22:48,786 --> 00:22:53,554
guilty about it He's in prison Why did I

475
00:22:53,554 --> 00:22:57,138
tell him not to call back And so I just

476
00:22:57,138 --> 00:22:59,046
kind of threw up in front of this pastor

477
00:22:59,046 --> 00:23:02,774
Not throw up throw up But I was like I was

478
00:23:02,774 --> 00:23:06,214
like I don't know what to do And here's my

479
00:23:06,214 --> 00:23:07,960
phone He's sending me all these

480
00:23:07,960 --> 00:23:15,334
messages.And I was like this is how he's

481
00:23:15,334 --> 00:23:17,434
it's been from the beginning of our

482
00:23:17,434 --> 00:23:20,422
marriage I just kind of told him

483
00:23:20,422 --> 00:23:24,926
everything And gave lot of times in every

484
00:23:24,926 --> 00:23:25,966
culture when something a in your marriage

485
00:23:25,966 --> 00:23:28,206
you don't tell even your parents because

486
00:23:28,206 --> 00:23:29,406
you think if our relationship mends then

487
00:23:29,406 --> 00:23:32,462
the still going to hate everything I had

488
00:23:32,462 --> 00:23:35,310
not told I just told this pastor.I just

489
00:23:35,310 --> 00:23:37,746
gave him everything And I knew this pastor

490
00:23:37,746 --> 00:23:39,906
Loved said he had called Said a hero And

491
00:23:39,906 --> 00:23:42,994
so his pastor was really shocked But he

492
00:23:42,994 --> 00:23:45,778
gave me break diagnosis He said this is

493
00:23:45,778 --> 00:23:49,334
really shocking.Say it's towards hero And

494
00:23:49,334 --> 00:23:51,126
he said but you're an abused wife And so

495
00:23:51,126 --> 00:23:55,734
when I got that a I read a lot of I just

496
00:23:55,734 --> 00:23:57,746
ordered my whole world blew up because I

497
00:23:57,746 --> 00:23:59,574
realized wow this prison. not like a

498
00:23:59,574 --> 00:24:01,226
normal problem in a relationship like a

499
00:24:01,226 --> 00:24:03,798
headache where you take Advil or Tylenol

500
00:24:03,798 --> 00:24:05,866
This is like cancer that needs to go

501
00:24:05,866 --> 00:24:07,514
through chemo This is not about normal

502
00:24:07,514 --> 00:24:11,018
marriage issue.And so I studied a lot

503
00:24:11,018 --> 00:24:12,398
about Narcissism That's the first time I

504
00:24:12,398 --> 00:24:15,566
heard about the word about abuse And so I

505
00:24:15,566 --> 00:24:19,806
shared with a small group of people like I

506
00:24:19,806 --> 00:24:23,034
emailed and I said I think I'm an abused

507
00:24:23,034 --> 00:24:25,554
wife might have been throughout our

508
00:24:25,554 --> 00:24:28,766
marriage And within hours I had every me

509
00:24:28,766 --> 00:24:31,026
calling me It was leaked to media and said

510
00:24:31,026 --> 00:24:32,994
was still in prison at that time.And one

511
00:24:32,994 --> 00:24:37,906
of the bullies that called me and told me

512
00:24:37,906 --> 00:24:40,214
to be quiet was Franklin Graham And he

513
00:24:40,214 --> 00:24:41,926
really didn't want the story to get out He

514
00:24:41,926 --> 00:24:44,118
said it would damage the cause of

515
00:24:44,118 --> 00:24:46,822
Christianity and that my husband was a

516
00:24:46,822 --> 00:24:51,658
hero understanding that if I was quiet I

517
00:24:51,658 --> 00:24:54,346
was going to have so much I could have so

518
00:24:54,346 --> 00:24:58,838
much fame and money and ministry But at a

519
00:24:58,838 --> 00:25:01,678
time I saw it for what it was and it seems

520
00:25:01,678 --> 00:25:05,440
like that I acted foolishly and I tore

521
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:08,126
everything down I really lost

522
00:25:08,126 --> 00:25:09,566
everything.But actually it was the best

523
00:25:09,566 --> 00:25:12,926
thing that happened to us We became free

524
00:25:12,926 --> 00:25:14,302
from that lot of that celebrity Christian

525
00:25:14,302 --> 00:25:16,090
culture My children became free of it and

526
00:25:16,090 --> 00:25:19,394
we went back to a normal life which a so

527
00:25:19,394 --> 00:25:21,570
good for me and the children.I've read

528
00:25:21,570 --> 00:25:23,218
your story I've heard your story You

529
00:25:23,218 --> 00:25:26,934
shared this also in your book and you

530
00:25:26,934 --> 00:25:29,430
shared it on the stage at Restore

531
00:25:29,430 --> 00:25:31,286
conference And every me the part about

532
00:25:31,286 --> 00:25:34,534
Franklin Graham comes just I don't know

533
00:25:34,534 --> 00:25:37,554
him But hey Franklin if you're listening

534
00:25:37,554 --> 00:25:39,526
to this podcast you owe that repair to my

535
00:25:39,526 --> 00:25:41,354
friend Nagme because it's so inappropriate

536
00:25:41,354 --> 00:25:43,594
what he and it's I wish it were the only

537
00:25:43,594 --> 00:25:45,926
story I'd ever he similar stopped this but

538
00:25:45,926 --> 00:25:47,994
altogether, darvo situation where they

539
00:25:47,994 --> 00:25:52,590
victim blame and this is part of the

540
00:25:52,590 --> 00:25:56,638
culture at large in the United at is but

541
00:25:56,638 --> 00:25:58,586
it's extremely powerful in celebrity

542
00:25:58,586 --> 00:26:01,098
church culture and domestic violence is

543
00:26:01,098 --> 00:26:02,862
often covered up and women are blamed and

544
00:26:02,862 --> 00:26:06,466
women are told to just suck it up and go

545
00:26:06,466 --> 00:26:10,158
back to the marriage and be quiet In your

546
00:26:10,158 --> 00:26:12,814
case your speaking out so Was.Going to and

547
00:26:12,814 --> 00:26:14,466
maybe Franklin's perspective affect him

548
00:26:14,466 --> 00:26:17,026
somehow but how dare he center himself

549
00:26:17,026 --> 00:26:19,366
when you are the one that needed care And

550
00:26:19,366 --> 00:26:20,706
so I once again don't know if Franklin

551
00:26:20,706 --> 00:26:22,534
listens to this podcast or if any of you

552
00:26:22,534 --> 00:26:25,622
listening have the ear of Franklin Graham

553
00:26:25,622 --> 00:26:29,062
but he owes Nagme calls serious repair and

554
00:26:29,062 --> 00:26:32,214
reparations for what he did to her and her

555
00:26:32,214 --> 00:26:33,546
family Because that's a for anyone but

556
00:26:33,546 --> 00:26:34,666
especially somebody who claims to follow

557
00:26:34,666 --> 00:26:37,002
Christ and to be talk leader in this

558
00:26:37,002 --> 00:26:38,586
community And I'm just so heartbroken with

559
00:26:38,586 --> 00:26:40,586
you that at a time you Needed people to

560
00:26:40,586 --> 00:26:42,678
believe you and surround you and care for

561
00:26:42,678 --> 00:26:44,906
you.Instead they were making you into the

562
00:26:44,906 --> 00:26:46,586
villain And so from that experience what

563
00:26:46,586 --> 00:26:48,926
did you learn from that How are you

564
00:26:48,926 --> 00:26:49,934
processing that now That was pretty

565
00:26:49,934 --> 00:26:51,726
traumatic because Franklin was just not a

566
00:26:51,726 --> 00:26:53,166
big name like Billy Graham's son He had

567
00:26:53,166 --> 00:26:54,158
become a really good friend.He would often

568
00:26:54,158 --> 00:26:56,866
send his private jet and he would take me

569
00:26:56,866 --> 00:26:59,746
to the Billy Graham center to speak or to

570
00:26:59,746 --> 00:27:02,706
the Samaritan's purse And he really turned

571
00:27:02,706 --> 00:27:04,706
on me in an unexpected and he actually his

572
00:27:04,706 --> 00:27:07,174
first accusation at me was that I was an

573
00:27:07,174 --> 00:27:10,354
adulteress that in some way I was throwing

574
00:27:10,354 --> 00:27:12,594
said under the bus because I was cheating

575
00:27:12,594 --> 00:27:15,846
don't him and I was wanting to move on

576
00:27:15,846 --> 00:27:17,718
with another person It's so outrageous

577
00:27:17,718 --> 00:27:24,554
which was so crazy And it broke me and I

578
00:27:24,554 --> 00:27:28,346
just cried I was like why would you say I

579
00:27:28,346 --> 00:27:29,946
committed adultery And interesting enough

580
00:27:29,946 --> 00:27:32,026
recently and over the a I've wanted a

581
00:27:32,026 --> 00:27:34,654
friendship So what I share about Franklin

582
00:27:34,654 --> 00:27:37,226
is like seven years out It's not like he

583
00:27:37,226 --> 00:27:39,866
did this And then I was like I was quiet I

584
00:27:39,866 --> 00:27:42,382
kept privately messaging him like hey you

585
00:27:42,382 --> 00:27:44,994
really have picked the wrong yeah I know

586
00:27:44,994 --> 00:27:47,822
you don't like let's try to get you to

587
00:27:47,822 --> 00:27:49,314
understand.His sister and Graham lots

588
00:27:49,314 --> 00:27:52,898
tried to explain things to him And then

589
00:27:52,898 --> 00:27:56,306
recently I think about take year ago the

590
00:27:56,306 --> 00:27:57,666
Washington posted a story on this whole

591
00:27:57,666 --> 00:27:59,158
Franklin Graham thing And what surprised

592
00:27:59,158 --> 00:28:03,846
me the most was he doubled down and he

593
00:28:03,846 --> 00:28:06,022
said yes I called her an adulteress and

594
00:28:06,022 --> 00:28:13,674
yes I would do it again And I was like you

595
00:28:13,674 --> 00:28:15,946
could have said like I learned my lesson I

596
00:28:15,946 --> 00:28:17,046
understand abuse more now.I've seen how

597
00:28:17,046 --> 00:28:20,410
things have played out in the last six

598
00:28:20,410 --> 00:28:23,614
seven years No I just didn't know better

599
00:28:23,614 --> 00:28:27,006
But for him to double down was so if

600
00:28:27,006 --> 00:28:30,126
there's any part of him that ever repents

601
00:28:30,126 --> 00:28:31,838
and wants to step into being and advocate

602
00:28:31,838 --> 00:28:36,562
for the abuse that would be wonderful I am

603
00:28:36,562 --> 00:28:38,386
really in I would love to have him use his

604
00:28:38,386 --> 00:28:40,980
voice instead of suppressing the abused to

605
00:28:40,980 --> 00:28:47,086
lift them up husband to give him the

606
00:28:47,086 --> 00:28:48,838
platform that he has.I would love for

607
00:28:48,838 --> 00:28:51,526
Franklin Graham to give the platform that

608
00:28:51,526 --> 00:28:55,750
he has for abused women and those who've

609
00:28:55,750 --> 00:28:57,446
been abused by the church to speak and

610
00:28:57,446 --> 00:28:59,980
bring awareness and teach the church

611
00:28:59,980 --> 00:29:04,010
There's so much the abuse can teach the

612
00:29:04,010 --> 00:29:07,066
church Yeah anytime he wants to do that

613
00:29:07,066 --> 00:29:08,986
that would be I'm open I don't think he

614
00:29:08,986 --> 00:29:13,766
likes became right now but I do like him I

615
00:29:13,766 --> 00:29:18,870
don't like him but I don't hate him.People

616
00:29:18,870 --> 00:29:21,134
think I came out a I have like this I

617
00:29:21,134 --> 00:29:27,986
don't hate him I'm not mad at him but I

618
00:29:27,986 --> 00:29:30,834
would love for him to repent of the way he

619
00:29:30,834 --> 00:29:32,046
thinks That's actually his way of thinking

620
00:29:32,046 --> 00:29:35,566
is Harming the and I mean you know we have

621
00:29:35,566 --> 00:29:37,894
Franklin the scriptures that we hold dear

622
00:29:37,894 --> 00:29:39,922
the story of Zacchaeus He went and made it

623
00:29:39,922 --> 00:29:42,806
gave he made a when he realized.And so any

624
00:29:42,806 --> 00:29:47,206
day we wake up is a chance to realize we

625
00:29:47,206 --> 00:29:50,442
were wrong and to go and make it right And

626
00:29:50,442 --> 00:29:56,026
that's what we are called to do And I do

627
00:29:56,026 --> 00:29:57,786
hope he finds that moment But I love that

628
00:29:57,786 --> 00:30:02,266
in your heart whether or not that ever

629
00:30:02,266 --> 00:30:08,510
happens you can move on and you can move

630
00:30:08,510 --> 00:30:11,246
forward by moving forward You are an

631
00:30:11,246 --> 00:30:12,206
amazing strong smart articulate strong

632
00:30:12,206 --> 00:30:13,346
with ancestors who are strong.And I just

633
00:30:13,346 --> 00:30:16,434
think that it is so beautiful to see the

634
00:30:16,434 --> 00:30:23,278
beauty from the ashes that has come But at

635
00:30:23,278 --> 00:30:26,530
the same time there's a part of you that

636
00:30:26,530 --> 00:30:29,106
didn't really survive And that's why you

637
00:30:29,106 --> 00:30:31,170
titled your book this way talk about how

638
00:30:31,170 --> 00:30:32,726
you settled on that title and really kind

639
00:30:32,726 --> 00:30:34,646
of what it means to you Yeah I didn't

640
00:30:34,646 --> 00:30:38,690
survive I look at he person I a had to let

641
00:30:38,690 --> 00:30:41,034
go of what lot of my way of thinking of

642
00:30:41,034 --> 00:30:44,058
whether it came from my culture.Having

643
00:30:44,058 --> 00:30:46,186
been raised the first nine years of my

644
00:30:46,186 --> 00:30:48,186
life in a Islamic revolution culture where

645
00:30:48,186 --> 00:30:50,106
women were being shut down and women were

646
00:30:50,106 --> 00:30:51,834
being told that they cannot do certain

647
00:30:51,834 --> 00:30:53,134
things whether the Christian culture that

648
00:30:53,134 --> 00:30:58,254
also said I was to submit And I was to be

649
00:30:58,254 --> 00:31:01,646
a helper And I was to have a quiet and

650
00:31:01,646 --> 00:31:04,542
peaceful spirit and never speak up or be

651
00:31:04,542 --> 00:31:07,650
loud or try to tell men what to do And

652
00:31:07,650 --> 00:31:10,514
that's the culture I was raised in And it

653
00:31:10,514 --> 00:31:13,074
actually worked perfectly with my Middle

654
00:31:13,074 --> 00:31:15,206
Eastern culture.I was like oh really God

655
00:31:15,206 --> 00:31:17,494
had to break me free from all of that

656
00:31:17,494 --> 00:31:20,534
wrong understanding God values women God

657
00:31:20,534 --> 00:31:24,454
he equal I think they're more honored You

658
00:31:24,454 --> 00:31:27,766
see him honoring woman in such at way.You

659
00:31:27,766 --> 00:31:29,206
see Jesus giving great revelations of

660
00:31:29,206 --> 00:31:31,306
worship to the woman by the well to these

661
00:31:31,306 --> 00:31:34,058
women that were there at his grave at his

662
00:31:34,058 --> 00:31:36,678
tomb the revelation of his on I mean I

663
00:31:36,678 --> 00:31:40,426
think he actually played was little bit of

664
00:31:40,426 --> 00:31:42,134
it in the way he honored women in was

665
00:31:42,134 --> 00:31:44,554
culture middle Eastern culture those who

666
00:31:44,554 --> 00:31:47,966
understand understand where women eat in

667
00:31:47,966 --> 00:31:49,790
and different room they sit in a different

668
00:31:49,790 --> 00:31:52,094
room For him to be with them in the same

669
00:31:52,094 --> 00:31:54,386
room and to honor he and talk to them and

670
00:31:54,386 --> 00:31:56,466
have theological discussions about worship

671
00:31:56,466 --> 00:31:59,746
with them.That's not who God is And the

672
00:31:59,746 --> 00:32:02,910
old me didn't survive There was a new me

673
00:32:02,910 --> 00:32:04,994
that emerged from that rediscovering and

674
00:32:04,994 --> 00:32:07,326
understanding who God really sister not

675
00:32:07,326 --> 00:32:11,382
what I was to And seeing how much he

676
00:32:11,382 --> 00:32:13,078
empowered me to be about voice he wasn't

677
00:32:13,078 --> 00:32:16,098
trying Washington shut me down and say you

678
00:32:16,098 --> 00:32:18,582
just need to be what little more gentle

679
00:32:18,582 --> 00:32:21,482
and was little more soft which it's good

680
00:32:21,482 --> 00:32:23,546
for us to be But speaking out about

681
00:32:23,546 --> 00:32:24,746
injustice and speaking out about abuse or

682
00:32:24,746 --> 00:32:26,810
not submitting to abuse doesn't mean we're

683
00:32:26,810 --> 00:32:30,226
not that we're not gentle.But there's

684
00:32:30,226 --> 00:32:32,586
abuse time where you are supposed to speak

685
00:32:32,586 --> 00:32:36,606
out and in to any form of abuse or

686
00:32:36,606 --> 00:32:38,398
corruption or actually doesn't honor God

687
00:32:38,398 --> 00:32:42,782
at all And that was the understanding So I

688
00:32:42,782 --> 00:32:46,770
kind of through the cocoon of suffering I

689
00:32:46,770 --> 00:32:49,134
turned to a different creature an

690
00:32:49,134 --> 00:32:51,970
butterfly.And I also had to trust in the

691
00:32:51,970 --> 00:32:54,754
abilities God had given me to fly to move

692
00:32:54,754 --> 00:32:59,154
forward and not second guess and say am I

693
00:32:59,154 --> 00:33:01,126
crazy Do I really have the ability to

694
00:33:01,126 --> 00:33:03,062
think properly or convey ideas properly

695
00:33:03,062 --> 00:33:05,238
Which was like how my husband had shut me

696
00:33:05,238 --> 00:33:07,826
down I didn't even trust in my own

697
00:33:07,826 --> 00:33:10,522
emotions If I cried the would say you're

698
00:33:10,522 --> 00:33:13,546
trying to manipulate.And I was like am I

699
00:33:13,546 --> 00:33:16,682
trying to manipulate But I'm really sad So

700
00:33:16,682 --> 00:33:18,874
he wouldn't even let me be sad He was

701
00:33:18,874 --> 00:33:21,030
saying by my tears I was trying to

702
00:33:21,030 --> 00:33:23,120
manipulate other people around me or him

703
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:27,066
So it was like even questioning my own

704
00:33:27,066 --> 00:33:28,958
emotion That's how far I gotten where I

705
00:33:28,958 --> 00:33:32,506
couldn't show any emotion.I didn't survive

706
00:33:32,506 --> 00:33:34,206
I really didn't.But I didn't survive in a

707
00:33:34,206 --> 00:33:36,434
good way The old me the bound me died and

708
00:33:36,434 --> 00:33:39,374
I was set free So beautiful and so much

709
00:33:39,374 --> 00:33:41,874
hope I know that there are people

710
00:33:41,874 --> 00:33:43,762
listening to this who currently are

711
00:33:43,762 --> 00:33:45,614
experiencing abuse and maybe even domestic

712
00:33:45,614 --> 00:33:48,694
violence I know that emotional abuse is he

713
00:33:48,694 --> 00:33:52,806
kind that gets in your head.Having been

714
00:33:52,806 --> 00:33:54,674
one who experienced that at the a of a

715
00:33:54,674 --> 00:33:56,294
couple of celebrity pastors and behind

716
00:33:56,294 --> 00:33:58,246
closed doors in ways that he said she said

717
00:33:58,246 --> 00:33:59,926
And so who's going to be believed The one

718
00:33:59,926 --> 00:34:03,834
with the bigger platform And so when you

719
00:34:03,834 --> 00:34:05,898
have those power dynamics men women that

720
00:34:05,898 --> 00:34:07,434
power dynamic and then your and being seen

721
00:34:07,434 --> 00:34:13,198
as this big deal that people are trying to

722
00:34:13,198 --> 00:34:18,814
rescue him from all over the world and

723
00:34:18,814 --> 00:34:22,846
then the power dynamic of you just being a

724
00:34:22,846 --> 00:34:25,514
woman and being his wife like very

725
00:34:25,514 --> 00:34:27,602
different dynamic that can play into that

726
00:34:27,602 --> 00:34:30,766
And so there's a people listening I'm sure

727
00:34:30,766 --> 00:34:32,366
even women who might be being abused

728
00:34:32,366 --> 00:34:34,226
either in an Islamic context or in a

729
00:34:34,226 --> 00:34:35,678
Christian context or any context what

730
00:34:35,678 --> 00:34:37,080
would you say to that woman listening

731
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:43,526
right now that doesn't know how to get

732
00:34:43,526 --> 00:34:44,966
free.Or doesn't even know they might be

733
00:34:44,966 --> 00:34:47,174
Because probably I recently read a book

734
00:34:47,174 --> 00:34:51,146
called about your body Keeps Yeah I've

735
00:34:51,146 --> 00:34:56,154
read that Like that Yeah.Your body starts

736
00:34:56,154 --> 00:34:57,882
telling you something's wrong you are down

737
00:34:57,882 --> 00:35:00,614
you're depressed There's anxiety even

738
00:35:00,614 --> 00:35:04,094
before you can put the word abuse to it If

739
00:35:04,094 --> 00:35:08,142
it's not physical of course physical

740
00:35:08,142 --> 00:35:09,582
anything physical Christian definitely

741
00:35:09,582 --> 00:35:11,274
abuse Unfortunately having been raised in

742
00:35:11,274 --> 00:35:14,180
a lot of the Middle Eastern culture even

743
00:35:14,180 --> 00:35:16,094
that was questionable But physical for

744
00:35:16,094 --> 00:35:18,562
sure.But emotional psychological is so

745
00:35:18,562 --> 00:35:21,954
hard to see So the abuser's goal is to

746
00:35:21,954 --> 00:35:24,466
control you And so they might use

747
00:35:24,466 --> 00:35:25,894
emotional abuse verbal abuse The Bible as

748
00:35:25,894 --> 00:35:28,950
a Christian the Bible says our words have

749
00:35:28,950 --> 00:35:37,834
the power to kill or bring life So as

750
00:35:37,834 --> 00:35:39,530
Christians we should really give value to

751
00:35:39,530 --> 00:35:45,286
verbal abuse.That's a big deal We

752
00:35:45,286 --> 00:35:51,094
shouldn't be like oh that was just verbal

753
00:35:51,094 --> 00:35:52,974
abuse Because the Bible says it brings

754
00:35:52,974 --> 00:35:56,110
life or death emotional abuse

755
00:35:56,110 --> 00:35:58,446
psychological abuse and using religion

756
00:35:58,446 --> 00:36:01,102
like God to have you submit in spiritual

757
00:36:01,102 --> 00:36:04,846
abuse And so I know that as a Christian

758
00:36:04,846 --> 00:36:06,810
those institutions of marriage or church

759
00:36:06,810 --> 00:36:09,826
were put there to protect and nourish and

760
00:36:09,826 --> 00:36:13,730
nurture and actually help you fly he you

761
00:36:13,730 --> 00:36:17,538
be the best person you can be and not to

762
00:36:17,538 --> 00:36:19,974
squash you and confuse you a cause all

763
00:36:19,974 --> 00:36:23,174
this darkness to come over you So if any

764
00:36:23,174 --> 00:36:24,758
institution whether it's a marriage or

765
00:36:24,758 --> 00:36:26,934
work or religious institution or church

766
00:36:26,934 --> 00:36:29,014
that's not helping you thrive.It's

767
00:36:29,014 --> 00:36:35,034
actually you feel like you're dying inside

768
00:36:35,034 --> 00:36:37,654
You feel this confusion God is not God of

769
00:36:37,654 --> 00:36:39,242
confusion You feel this darkness You're

770
00:36:39,242 --> 00:36:43,054
just really like you maybe repeat to

771
00:36:43,054 --> 00:36:48,126
yourself like I just want to I wish I was

772
00:36:48,126 --> 00:36:51,934
just not alive This feeling despair then

773
00:36:51,934 --> 00:36:53,786
there's something wrong and you need to

774
00:36:53,786 --> 00:36:55,358
get out of that institution And God cares

775
00:36:55,358 --> 00:36:56,706
more about you than you trying to keep

776
00:36:56,706 --> 00:36:58,786
that institution intact So whether it's

777
00:36:58,786 --> 00:37:01,874
things coming out in a church or in a

778
00:37:01,874 --> 00:37:04,046
religious environment or in abuse home and

779
00:37:04,046 --> 00:37:06,338
you're like well if this comes out then

780
00:37:06,338 --> 00:37:09,574
the marriage is going to a apart it's okay

781
00:37:09,574 --> 00:37:11,794
The person's more important.You are more

782
00:37:11,794 --> 00:37:14,578
important than the institution And as a

783
00:37:14,578 --> 00:37:18,346
know I believe God came to save the person

784
00:37:18,346 --> 00:37:20,474
Jesus came to save the person not an.I

785
00:37:20,474 --> 00:37:23,946
think your body starts feeling things even

786
00:37:23,946 --> 00:37:29,942
before you can put the word abuse to it

787
00:37:29,942 --> 00:37:34,574
And you're not in You're not being the

788
00:37:34,574 --> 00:37:38,622
best that you can be that God created you

789
00:37:38,622 --> 00:37:42,414
to be You're actually being kind of pushed

790
00:37:42,414 --> 00:37:45,466
down and you feel fog of confusion and

791
00:37:45,466 --> 00:37:49,486
darkness and you don't know what it is And

792
00:37:49,486 --> 00:37:52,002
you're like Am I crazy I this real God is

793
00:37:52,002 --> 00:37:54,606
God of clarity So I would say if there's

794
00:37:54,606 --> 00:37:56,834
any of that going on if someone would have

795
00:37:56,834 --> 00:37:59,606
said if any of that's going on in your

796
00:37:59,606 --> 00:38:01,686
mind nogma look into abuse look up that

797
00:38:01,686 --> 00:38:03,794
word and see if that's what you're under I

798
00:38:03,794 --> 00:38:06,438
would start with that I would tell people

799
00:38:06,438 --> 00:38:09,574
that that's so good Yeah.There is so much

800
00:38:09,574 --> 00:38:11,882
more research now on the brain and how our

801
00:38:11,882 --> 00:38:21,262
right brain is perceiving a lot of that

802
00:38:21,262 --> 00:38:23,102
before we're cognitively aware of it in

803
00:38:23,102 --> 00:38:29,134
the other side of the left brain And so it

804
00:38:29,134 --> 00:38:33,042
is our body taking in all those messages

805
00:38:33,042 --> 00:38:34,098
our autonomic nervous systems are

806
00:38:34,098 --> 00:38:37,250
responding to Is this person emotionally

807
00:38:37,250 --> 00:38:40,814
safe based on every other interaction I've

808
00:38:40,814 --> 00:38:44,546
had with them And our bodies are keeping

809
00:38:44,546 --> 00:38:46,642
that data so we're not fully cognizant of

810
00:38:46,642 --> 00:38:48,262
it And I think that why paying attention

811
00:38:48,262 --> 00:38:50,662
to our bodies is so important.It's and

812
00:38:50,662 --> 00:38:52,806
message we don't give often in

813
00:38:52,806 --> 00:38:56,038
evangelicalism In fact we say the opposite

814
00:38:56,038 --> 00:38:57,398
Don't trust your body When women's bodies

815
00:38:57,398 --> 00:38:58,918
are a threat you're constantly having

816
00:38:58,918 --> 00:39:02,534
these weird messages and so I think it is

817
00:39:02,534 --> 00:39:04,634
more challenging in those situations Or

818
00:39:04,634 --> 00:39:06,538
like you said in Islam where cover up your

819
00:39:06,538 --> 00:39:08,202
body.It's like an attempt man There's the

820
00:39:08,202 --> 00:39:10,282
nine parts of desire So that's really good

821
00:39:10,282 --> 00:39:12,506
advice And the last thing I want to give

822
00:39:12,506 --> 00:39:15,294
you an opportunity to speak to is what if

823
00:39:15,294 --> 00:39:17,390
there's a pastor in a church a congregant

824
00:39:17,390 --> 00:39:19,600
anybody in a church position where

825
00:39:19,600 --> 00:39:22,694
somebody comes out and says either my a

826
00:39:22,694 --> 00:39:26,274
abusing me the pastor is abusing me Any

827
00:39:26,274 --> 00:39:28,514
forms of abuse whether it's emotional

828
00:39:28,514 --> 00:39:30,578
financial verbal physical sexual anything

829
00:39:30,578 --> 00:39:36,254
what would you say to that person in a

830
00:39:36,254 --> 00:39:39,734
church environment when they've been

831
00:39:39,734 --> 00:39:43,922
taught to just always believe the people

832
00:39:43,922 --> 00:39:48,538
in power Yeah be careful that you're not

833
00:39:48,538 --> 00:39:51,914
trying to save the power or the

834
00:39:51,914 --> 00:39:54,102
institution because that's anti biblical

835
00:39:54,102 --> 00:39:57,386
So anxiety lot of times pastors won't

836
00:39:57,386 --> 00:39:59,114
touch a marriage Even though the woman's

837
00:39:59,114 --> 00:40:01,614
like I'm being abused they're like because

838
00:40:01,614 --> 00:40:05,758
they're like I don't want this marriage to

839
00:40:05,758 --> 00:40:08,970
a apart That's not your job Your job is to

840
00:40:08,970 --> 00:40:11,754
rescue the person that's claiming abuse

841
00:40:11,754 --> 00:40:14,266
which it's very rare for someone to

842
00:40:14,266 --> 00:40:17,426
falsely claim abuser's because it is very

843
00:40:17,426 --> 00:40:18,962
know.I remember when Lorianne Thompson

844
00:40:18,962 --> 00:40:23,106
first came out about it and I went to my

845
00:40:23,106 --> 00:40:25,314
church and I said I don't want any ravi's

846
00:40:25,314 --> 00:40:28,034
teachings here anymore And they're like

847
00:40:28,034 --> 00:40:32,306
Why And I was like this woman's coming out

848
00:40:32,306 --> 00:40:34,214
about it They're like oh they're saying

849
00:40:34,214 --> 00:40:36,374
she's lying It's just why would someone

850
00:40:36,374 --> 00:40:39,078
lie and have their whole life torn apart

851
00:40:39,078 --> 00:40:41,450
and destroyed and their livelihood taken

852
00:40:41,450 --> 00:40:46,854
It is so rare for someone to come out

853
00:40:46,854 --> 00:40:51,774
about abuse. especially about a person in

854
00:40:51,774 --> 00:40:56,814
power or in a marriage where their

855
00:40:56,814 --> 00:41:00,974
marriage would fall apart and just going

856
00:41:00,974 --> 00:41:04,622
through that pain of children custody So I

857
00:41:04,622 --> 00:41:06,946
would say don't jump into conclusion First

858
00:41:06,946 --> 00:41:09,842
of all listen to the one who's claiming

859
00:41:09,842 --> 00:41:13,554
abuse Let it get them to a place of safety

860
00:41:13,554 --> 00:41:15,986
And don't try to worry about whether

861
00:41:15,986 --> 00:41:19,954
institution.What will happen if this news

862
00:41:19,954 --> 00:41:25,222
comes out to the church Your job is not to

863
00:41:25,222 --> 00:41:28,390
keep an institution intact or the marriage

864
00:41:28,390 --> 00:41:31,434
intact Your job especially as is we're

865
00:41:31,434 --> 00:41:34,330
called we are to protect the voiceless the

866
00:41:34,330 --> 00:41:36,602
innocent the oppressed Your job is to

867
00:41:36,602 --> 00:41:38,198
protect them Now if the church falls to

868
00:41:38,198 --> 00:41:39,914
pieces that's between it's.God is not

869
00:41:39,914 --> 00:41:42,858
worried about the church falling into

870
00:41:42,858 --> 00:41:44,206
pieces or marriage falling to pieces God

871
00:41:44,206 --> 00:41:46,302
is worried about god is concerned of

872
00:41:46,302 --> 00:41:48,282
rescuing the person So if you want to

873
00:41:48,282 --> 00:41:51,166
honor God go rescue the person Be out in

874
00:41:51,166 --> 00:41:56,146
the person If in is preventing you from in

875
00:41:56,146 --> 00:41:57,954
to this person and helping them really

876
00:41:57,954 --> 00:41:59,346
seek really think about why.Is it because

877
00:41:59,346 --> 00:42:01,934
you're so afraid of the institution being

878
00:42:01,934 --> 00:42:03,890
affected by it whether marriage more

879
00:42:03,890 --> 00:42:07,046
church So if that's where you're going be

880
00:42:07,046 --> 00:42:08,630
careful You might be following the steps

881
00:42:08,630 --> 00:42:10,070
of pharisees and religious leaders that

882
00:42:10,070 --> 00:42:18,918
Jesus rebuked because they were so

883
00:42:18,918 --> 00:42:21,062
concerned about protecting the institution

884
00:42:21,062 --> 00:42:22,634
of Sabbath that they were like oh

885
00:42:22,634 --> 00:42:25,274
someone's it's like we don't want to help

886
00:42:25,274 --> 00:42:27,402
to God's like are you kidding Like the

887
00:42:27,402 --> 00:42:29,690
institution was set there for the person

888
00:42:29,690 --> 00:42:31,866
It's always about helping the person.Yes

889
00:42:31,866 --> 00:42:34,358
And if somehow you're walking by darkness

890
00:42:34,358 --> 00:42:35,694
broken person and you're not helping them

891
00:42:35,694 --> 00:42:37,374
be careful that you're not the religious

892
00:42:37,374 --> 00:42:40,606
leaders that Jesus called out that is so

893
00:42:40,606 --> 00:42:41,726
concerned about the institution that

894
00:42:41,726 --> 00:42:43,086
they're willing to see someone waste away

895
00:42:43,086 --> 00:42:44,654
whether in said church So that's what I

896
00:42:44,654 --> 00:42:47,794
would say to pastors be careful Make sure

897
00:42:47,794 --> 00:42:49,026
you're not so concerned about the

898
00:42:49,026 --> 00:42:49,938
institution whether it's marriage or

899
00:42:49,938 --> 00:42:51,074
someone claiming abuse by that. religious

900
00:42:51,074 --> 00:42:55,906
leader and really do the call that God has

901
00:42:55,906 --> 00:42:57,982
called you to do which to protect the

902
00:42:57,982 --> 00:43:00,786
press And it might be costly.It might

903
00:43:00,786 --> 00:43:03,158

904
00:43:03,158 --> 00:43:05,138
