<p>Guest Firoozeh Dumas is the author of the<em> New York Times</em> bestseller <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Funny-Farsi-Growing-Iranian-America/dp/0812968379"><em>Funny in Farsi,</em></a> now celebrating its 20th anniversary. I first discovered Firoozeh and her book in my early twenties. <em>Funny in Farsi </em>gave me permission to be unapologetically Iranian or <em>Irooni</em> . In today's episode, we'll explore the joys and challenges of embracing a multicultural identity, the transformative power of storytelling, and the profound impact of humor in bridging cultural divides. Plus, the <em>worst</em> financial advice Firoozeh received as a kid.
