Who the Hell Are We?

Who is Deli?
Her Iranian heritage, coming to America, growing up in Cali, her first real job in a 90’s pioneering streaming media tech company, launching a leadership development company, writing as an avocation and life as a healer. 

Who is Deneen? 
Her family’s many moves, figure skating, working in educational technology (though she wanted to be a drama teacher), elevating student voice through the one woman show she created and toured, and an undiagnosed illness. 

How did we meet?
The role of education in both their lives as facilitators and keynoters and parents, including bonding over IBM Selectric typewriters.

How did being courageous allow us meet?
Deneen created a show she wrote and performed as a keynote on student voice that led her to a workshop Deli was leading. How we need to be in community, not isolation (thank you, Barbara Sher!), to realize the dreams of our hearts.

What if you knew that everything was going to be OK?
"What If You Knew" - poem by Jena Schwartz
The stories we tell ourselves...paths as of yet untaken.

What are our Joygasms?
In-person concerts with my 13-year-old daughter (Deneen)
Our friendship story and EAGLE MANIA (Deli)
Joy as a revolutionary act.
