Overview

"When Sara Rahimi was a teenager living in Iran's capital, she dreamed of a life where she could do or be whatever she wanted to. She longed to become like Oprah and Ellen: free, powerful, and inspiring. Instead, she lived in an atmosphere characterized by fear and terror - one where Morality Police monitored her every move, and gendered cultural norms determined her life's path. She once begged a male friend to jump out of her family's second story window in order to avoid harsh punishment from the police for an unauthorized co-ed after-school hang-out. Flash forward to today, and Sara lives in a new country and finds herself voluntarily jumping-- out of a plane rather than a building. From skydiving to a career change, Sara has finally become everything she's ever dreamed of in her new homeland in Canada. Still, Sara can't shake the feeling that she does not fully belong in her new world and that something is missing. In Little Sara of Tehran, she learns to overcome her past, and move forward by trusting her instincts, following her gut, and transforming her deepest grief into her life's greatest purpose. ""I loved Little Sara of Tehran. From the villa by the ocean in Daryakenar to the buzzing streets of Toronto, I was captivated the entire time. I'm inspired by women who exemplify courage and resilience, and Sara is a shining example of both. She shows women everywhere that we have the power to live exceptionally beautiful lives and choose our own path."" - Rina Rovinelli, Co-Founder of Speaker Slam and Top 25 Women of Influence 2020 Recipient ""Sara Rahimi is a true leader who empowers women to strive for the better, bigger version of themselves. By vulnerably sharing her story and shattering deeply rooted cultural taboos along the way, she encourages the reader to stop fitting in and start living a bold life."" - Shahab Anari, Author, Speaker, Founder of North Star Success and Top 25 Canadian Immigrants Recipient"
