Dear Friends,

Happy New Year! A big thank you to all who came to the Yalda performance and book signing at Astrolab in LA last December. It was so wonderful to share space and find hope together in an uncertain and chaotic world.

Be sure to visit my author talk at a library near you this month in Capitola or in Oakland in February. Next March get ready for Nowruz (Persian New Year) performances with the Simorgh Dance Collective and I.

Wishing you joy, health, and safety in the new year.
Farima
