Ba.naf.sheh (noun) The Colour Violet: An Iranian Woman's Journey Across Two Continents In A Quest For Her Freedom

Ba.naf.sheh (noun) The Colour Violet: An Iranian Woman's Journey Across Two Continents In A Quest For Her Freedom

Born & raised in post revolution Iran, Banafsheh learned her most valuable childhood lessons from her Baba, Maman, and her favourite poet, Rumi. Like many immigrant families, when an exciting opportunity to shift her family across the Atlantic to Canada presented itself to her Baba, he didn't blink an eye. Once in Canada, the promise of educational opportunities turned into dull university courses, and the guarantee of freedom of expression forced converting her name to something that was easier to pronounce. At twenty, Banafsheh found herself with a new name, in a complicated marriage, and living a life of decisions she barely remembered making. This coming-of-age biography is a story about balancing cultural and familial expectations with non-traditional aspirations for one's life. Banafsheh's encounter with patriarchy and manipulation are combated by valuable teachings of community and charity instilled in her during her formative years in Iran. And through the support of a strong network of family and friends she overcomes one of the greatest battles in her life to regain her youth and freedom.
