Khers Asali

45871

Hello! I’m Khers Asali, a 19-year-old student at the University of Texas at Austin. I’ve grown up around Persian parents who’ve shared their experiences of post-revolution Iran’s challenges, and it has become a big part of who I am. When visiting Iran, my favorite thing to do is shop in bazaars. I love the various items, from spices to gold, that all connect back to Iranian culture. If I could eat one food for the rest of my life, it would definitely be Bastani Sonnati, a traditional Persian ice cream made with saffron, rose water, and pistachios. It's a taste of home that brings me comfort. Iran holds a special place in my heart because it’s not just where my family’s roots are, it’s where I find connection with my culture and the cousins I hold dear. I’m contributing to this resource because I hope for a future where my daughter can visit Iran, dress as she chooses, speak freely, and engage with whomever she wants without restrictions. As UT Austin says, “What starts here changes the world.”

Below I have one of my favorite Persian songs"Dokhtar Bandari" by Shahram Kashani. Its upbeat rhythm brings back memories of my cousins blasting it in the car in Iran, dancing and laughing together. The vibrant energy of Persian music like this perfectly captures the joy and cultural connection I hold dear.
