URBAN IRAN’s Charlotte Noruzi on Air America’s “Breakroom Live” This Thursday, July 2
June 29, 2009
This Thursday, July 2 at 3:00PM EST, tune in to Air America’s Breakroom Live with Marc Maron and Sam Seder as MBP’s Urban Iran author Charlotte Noruzi discusses the book, her background in Tehran, and shares her feelings on today’s Iran as a Persian-American woman.
“When I saw the crowds of people in the streets that I myself may have walked as a child, my heart beat started to rise, pride rise, hope rise,” Noruzi says. “It was exciting, despite the bloodshed, violence and agony. I heard myself say, ‘finally, something is happening. A beginning’.”
