Immigrant Conversations

In this episode of Empowering conversationZ, I interviewed Salma Sarawary. She is the Director of business development at a small company here in San Diego. As an immigrant woman born in Afghanistan, Salma experienced a range of challenges. From being smuggled out of her country at a young age to being bullied in the states and facing many obstacles to graduate from high school. However, these encounters only strengthened her to believe in herself more and pursue her dreams courageously. Her inspiring story challenges us to embrace diversity and empowers us to believe in ourselves despite the cultural limitations we face.

In this episode of Empowering conversationZ, Shahram Daneshmand (Dr.D) shared his struggles as a young immigrant who left behind the comfortable life he had in Iran and came to the states with challenges that teenagers can relate easily: Challenge of fitting in especially when you look different and speak little English. Now, he is a successful high-risk obstetrician with a passion to help women and children. Besides his private practice and medical spa, he is the founder of Miracle babies a non-profit organization with the mission to reunite sick newborns with their families.
