00:00I have a lot of Middle Eastern women come up to me and be like, I am so grateful that
00:04you're having your moment right now and that, you know, a Middle Eastern girl is getting the spotlight. I used
00:12to feel like, I don't want to use the word embarrassed, but like it is what it is. That was
00:17just due to where I grew up, where I went to school and just, you know, being made fun of
00:22for having parents that have accents or the food that I would bring to school. They just didn't know what
00:27it was and they would make fun of it.
00:29When you feel weird or different, you tend to want to fit in. You know, I'm really glad that I
00:37matured because now I'm like, no, being Persian is so cool.
