What started with one mural in San Francisco became a global mission: amplifying the voices of Iranian women fighting oppression through art. In this episode of The Results-Driven Life by Design, Iranian-American activist and media personality Hooman Khalili shares the vision that led him from a viral moment to an international movement—Esthers of the World Rise Up and All Eyes on Iran.
Hooman recounts how Mahsa Amini’s death lit a fire that took him across Israel, the U.S., and beyond, painting murals that sparked conversations, shifted perspectives, and even drew direct response from the Iranian regime. With raw honesty, he talks about pruning, loneliness, courage, and the prophetic number that guides his mission.
This is not just about art. It’s about resistance, hope, and the ripple effect of women rising. If you’ve ever doubted the power of one vision to change nations, this conversation will challenge and ignite you.
