About Afarin:

Afarin Bellisario considers herself not only a bridge between the east and the west, but also a bridge between the past and the future. Afarin grew up in Tehran, in a family with its feet in the past and its head in the future; her grandmothers could barely read, while Afarin’s university-educated father and uncles were prominent members of Iran’s new technocratic elite.

Afarin came to the state and earned a Ph.D. (and a subsequent MBA) from MIT. She spent most of her career in the high-tech world, dealing with cutting-edge innovations. She has worked for firms such as Intel, Analog Devices, and Raytheon, as well as MIT in both technical and business capacities, AND consulted for many other companies such as Tokyo Electron.

Today, Afarin consults, teaches, and mentors young ventures. But writing has been a passion. She began writing professionally for major publications and the literary magazine Ferdousi at the age of 14, in pre-revolutionary Tehran. In 2013, her essay “Movies with My Aunt” was published in the anthology, Love & Pomegranates. The Wall Street Journal and The Boston Globe have published several of her op-eds, and she writes regularly about the clash between tradition and modernity on Medium.

In her new book, Silenced Whispers, themes of societal transformation, as an ancient land become modernized amidst internal corruption and foreign meddling, wrapped in a love story.
