Episode 4 - I Was 8 When I Learned People Could Be Killed for Wanting Freedom
At just 8 years old, Parishad watched the 2009 Green Movement unfold through the eyes of a child. Growing up in Iran in a deeply political family, she witnessed protests, fear, censorship, mandatory hijab enforcement, and the daily realities of life under the Islamic Republic.In this episode of Andisheh Conversations, Parishad shares her memories of watching the Green Movement, learning about political repression at a young age, challenging school authorities over hijab rules, and later immigrating to Canada. We discuss how political trauma shapes children, the quiet acts of resistance that become part of everyday life, and how immigration changes one's understanding of freedom, identity, and home.This conversation is not about politics in the abstract. It is about growing up, coming of age, and trying to make sense of a world where freedom can never be taken for granted.Parishad's Instagram page:https://www.instagram.com/certainlynotparishad/?hl=en
