Gaining Ground

Discovering the New Iranian American

As young Iranian Americans, we will be the ones responsible for propagating Iranian culture in the United States. Who are we in this new generation, what will we preserve, and what might we leave behind?

"Gaining Ground" is an attempt to answer these questions. A space in which we - and YOU - will join to share our discoveries of what it means to be Iranian in the United States today, what it means to be Iranian in general, and how we can promote our newfound identities in our adopted homes. Please read "About 'Gaining Ground'" for more information!
