Lawrence Family JCC

Join us for an evening with Roya Hakakian, acclaimed Iranian-American author, journalist, and commentator, whose work has illuminated the intersections of exile, identity, authoritarianism, and human rights. Drawing from her distinguished books, investigative journalism, and personal experiences growing up as a Jewish woman in post-revolutionary Iran, Hakakian will discuss her journalistic process, the challenges of telling complex political stories, and the evolving realities facing the Iranian people today. This timely conversation will offer insight into contemporary Iran through the lens of one of today’s most compelling literary and political voices.
