Speaking 

​

History comes alive through the stories we tell.

​

Drawing from her experience growing up as a Jewish girl in Iran, years of historical research, and the journey of writing Under the Persimmon Tree, Aylin invites audiences into a world few have encountered. Her presentations weave together personal memories, the rich history of one of the world's oldest Jewish communities, and the resilience of women whose voices have too often gone unheard.

​

Whether speaking at synagogues, universities, libraries, book clubs, museums, or community organizations, Aylin creates thoughtful, engaging conversations that leave audiences with a deeper understanding of Iranian Jewish history, the power of storytelling, and the importance of preserving voices that might otherwise be forgotten.

​

Presentations may include keynote addresses, book discussions, fireside conversations, moderated interviews, and audience Q&A sessions.
