This is for the Iranian women @OurselvesTv

The time has come. This is for the Iranian women who are risking their lives every day for basic human rights. For innocent children who are getting mercilessly slaughtered on the daily. For the youth who are breaking down the barriers to gender inequality.  For all the people of Iran putting themselves on the front line, fighting for freedom, and longing for a new, revolutionized country. For hundreds of courageous citizens who have been killed in the streets. For thousands who are imprisoned unjustly.

I present to you, “LIONESS.” A project that took a whole village to accomplish. A project that means so much to me and took so much blood, sweat, and tears to put together.

Together, we must continue to spread information and proper awareness about Iran during a time where our media is not. Just because you aren’t hearing about it on the news, doesn’t mean it’s not still happening.

Please watch. Please inform yourself. And please share.
