Our biggest inspiration in life has been the example of our grandfather. He helped raise us from a very young age. Like many others, he escaped Iran after the revolution. He taught us about our language, our history, and our epic poetry-- especially The Shahnameh, or Book of Kings.

He has kept Iran alive in our home and in our hearts. He taught us about the beauty, power, and diversity of Iranian culture. Our culture is a sacred garden. By connecting to it, we deepen our connections with ourselves, our families, and each other.

The word nimruz means “midday”, the point at which the sun is at its peak, and the most light shines on the land. It is our hope that Nimruz can live up to its name, and that together we can shine light on a garden that is home to us all.
