Maryam Abolfazli was born and raised in Nashville, into what she describes as a "a big and loving Iranian family." Some members of that family still live in Iran, where, already contending with a repressive government, they have also lived in a time of war and now, lingering uncertainty. All of this hits close to home for Maryam, who has worked in the Middle East and retains close ties with her extended family. As a fragile ceasefire appears to hold, we asked her what it's been like to follow the news from Nashville, knowing loved ones potentially remain in harm's way. Guest: Maryam Abolfazli, activist and Iranian American Host: Demetria Kalodimos Producer: Steve Haruch Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
