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.
