I Am Iran | Leyla Ebrahimi | TEDxYouth@FHS

You can't always believe what you see online or in the news, especially when it comes to understanding the heart of a culture. Iran is painted in a full vibrancy in this powerful talk.

Leyla Ebrahimi is a sophomore at Flint Hill School. Leyla is a member of the tennis and track teams, Major Minors, SCA, and the Environmental Club. Leyla is an avid writer, and she believes that writing is a great way to express herself quietly. In her talk, Leyla will discuss growing up in a Persian household, where she has treasured and valued her Iranian background. She will explain her personal experiences with Iran and the Middle East, and she hopes that in the future, we can learn to separate a country from the small percent of bad that might inhabit it.
