<p>My aunt Parvone is one of the kindest, sweetest, most patient women I know. We often refer to her as “Madare Hame” , Everyone's Mother. She married at 17 years old to her first cousin, Hamid. He was 8 years her senior. Parvone grew up wearing hijab and was hounded by her grandmother to cover her hair, not show too much skin. At her wedding, her scarf was considered ‘too thin’ and she had to replace it with a thicker veil. Two children, a house and years of international travel later, Parvone considers herself ‘Bi Hijab” Without Hijab. Wow, how does her grandmother feel about this now?</p>

<p>BONUS EPISODE IN FARSI</p><p> Introducing the 16 year old Parnian. She feels she has been handling the pandemic pretty well considering Iran is being cover run with the Delta Variant. When classes area online, her teacher relies on WhatsApp and Telegram applications for communication. When not in school, Parnian loves wearing make up and painting her nails. We did this interview in her bedroom and I can vouch for her nail polish collection. She literally has three shelves made up of every color you can imagine! Did you know, Iranians schools do not allow girls to wear nail polish or make up in class? You can't even pluck your eye brows or wax your mustache. Can you imagine? The ladies have to suck that part up until they graduate.</p>
