Touching part of my interview w @AlinejadMasih is when she spoke of returning to Iran. We all share the dream of freedom for the Iranian people. Masih says she will hug the mothers of the kids the regime killed, and her mum who she hasn't seen for 13yrs:

For decades I have Anglo-fied my name to make it easy for non-Persians to say. From today, I am going to pronounce my name on TV the way it is supposed to be pronounced when my parents named me. Let's see what interesting variations I get on the Real McCoy version now 😂🤣
