I was approached by a producer of Voice Of America who wanted to interview me while I was participating in the Crafts America Show in Washington D.C.. He explained that the piece was about Iranian Artists who were exhibiting in the show. I had met the producer in New York City when he was producing a documentary on my father, Manoucher Yektai. I reminded him that I did not speak Farsi which meant that my only qualifications were being half Persian and the fact that i was born in Teheran Iran. He told me not to worry and that they would dub in a Farsi voice for me. I took this as an opportunity to be exposed to their audience of 14 million people Iranians both inside and outside of Iran. I also took this as an opportunity to upgrade my voice. I asked for a strong, authoritative voice for the voiceover. Anything is better than my natural voice!

I was happy to participate and to my surprise there were other artists at the show with ties to Iran.
