“As somebody who grows up in, I guess, a “third world country” and then moves to the U.S., you feel this sense of responsibility… to have to give back something, or you have to be the best in your community, but also still be connected.” Parmida shares about creating Seda Iranian Theatre Ensemble, which creates opportunities for refugees and immigrants whose voice cannot be heard.

Topics include programming for refugee and immigrant communities, creating new mediums, and taking time to reflect.
