Firoozeh Dumas (Picture taken by Stephanie Rausser)Firoozeh Dumas was born in Iran and grew up listening to her father, a former Fulbright Scholar, recount the many colorful stories of his life. In 2001, with no prior writing experience, Firoozeh, decided to write her stories as a gift for her children. Critics and readers of all ages have loved her stories. The Persian version of her first book Funny in Farsi is currently one of the bestsellers in Iran and ABC has optioned it for a sit com. Jimmy Carter called Funny in Farsi, “A humorous and introspective chronicle of a life filled with love - of family, country and heritage.” Firoozeh’s second book, Laughing Without an Accent, a series of autobiographical essays, was published by Random House in May 2008. For the past five years, Firoozeh has traveled extensively reminding us that our commonalities far outweigh our differences…and doing so with humor. Watch video>>
