00:00:12.000 --> 00:00:14.800
Before the lights. Before the mic.

2
00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:23.700
There was a girl from Bandar-e-Anzali. A girl who refused to stay small.

3
00:00:23.900 --> 00:00:31.400
She crossed an ocean to Toronto, carrying her language, her laughter, her fire.

4
00:00:31.600 --> 00:00:35.400
Through every silence, she found her voice.

5
00:00:35.600 --> 00:00:38.900
Through every stage, she found her people.

6
00:00:39.200 --> 00:00:43.400
She doesn't just host the room. She lifts it.

7
00:00:43.600 --> 00:00:52.900
She turns strangers into family. A moment into memory. A crowd into a community.

8
00:00:53.100 --> 00:00:57.900
She is bilingual. She is brave. She is unforgettable.

9
00:00:58.000 --> 00:01:00.300
She is your soul sister.

10
00:01:00.500 --> 00:01:02.800
Rise. With her.
