SHAB
‘My heart just aches and breaks for the people of Persia’
Shab was just six years old when she started to question the Iranian regime. “I would come home from school, and I would take the hijab off and throw it across the room,” she remembers. “I would tell my mom, ‘Why Mom? I’m a young girl! I don’t have boobs. I look like a boy. Who’s looking at me? Why don’t they let us be free? We’re just kids.’”
Two years later, Shab and her family managed to flee turmoil and persecution in post-revolutionary Iran., is a celebration of feminine desire and power.
