Episode 196: From Growing Up In Iran to International Human Rights Lawyer, Actor & Modern Activist with Sara Seyed

I became an actor because it ignited in me the strongest sense of vocation to engage politically, socially, spiritually, heart and soul in the storytelling that allows people to understand each other better, to get closer to each other. We’re only as good as how we understand each other.
— Sara Seyed

Today’s guest Sara Seyed is an activist, actor, and prior human rights lawyer. The past few months she has been dedicating herself fulltime to sharing, discussing and talking about the revolution currently happening in Iran. In this episode, we cover the latest news on Iran, how her love for acting and activism have been woven through her life, and why it’s so important for those of us with the ability to speak up for those who cannot speak up for themselves.
