Brian interviews two people to discuss the protests happening in Iran.

Ava Homa is an award-winning novelist and journalist. Her debut novel "Daughters of Smoke and Fire", the story of a Kurdish-Iranian woman, won the 2020 Nautilus Book Award. Her bylines have appeared at the Globe and Mail, Literary Hub, BBC and Toronto Star. We talk about both her novel about Leila, who like Mahsa Amini (the woman whose death at the hands of the morality police created an uproar) is Kurdish-Iranian and we discuss gender and ethnicity and their role in what we see on the streets of Iran today.

Goldie Ghamari is an experienced international trade lawyer and commercial litigator. She holds a Bachelor of Arts from the University of Toronto and a Juris Doctor, cum laude, from the University of Ottawa, Faculty of Common Law. Goldie was recently elected to her second term as MPP for Carleton.
