At some point in our lives, most of us have silenced our own voice...Be it at home, at school, at work or in our communities. Why do we do that? With an inspiring and emotional story, Parisa Khosravi, a veteran award winning journalist and executive, talks about the power of finding your voice. Parisa shares her personal journey about giving voice to the voiceless. Parisa Khosravi had a front row seat to almost every major world news event for the past three decades. She and her family immigrated to the U.S. from Iran in 1979. She pursued journalism in school and was recruited by CNN, working her way up from an entry-level position to senior vice president for Ted Turner at the world's first 24/7 news network. Khosravi has received numerous distinguished awards for her journalism and civic activities and now owns a consulting company and speaks to audiences about a variety of topics from Iran and Cuba to effective global leadership, women in the workforce, journalism and team building.
