Hi Nic and everyone, I’m Sonbol, born in Iran but have lived most of my life in the US. Right now, the first thing that came to my mind when I saw the question was “I am heartbroken”. Although in reality I’m both heartbroken and full of rage watching the destruction of my homeland, and worrying about loved ones in Iran.
In between the grieving and raging, I’m also the guardian (servant?) of one dog, four cats, and a non-swimming aquatic turtle named Jeffrey, who all infuse moments of ridiculous joy and chaos throughout the day. I’m also the daughter of a wonderful mom who is turning 80 years old this summer, and is experiencing some health issues, and I’m currently navigating how to help her in ways that don’t take autonomy and abilities away from her.
I’m also an animal advocate and shelter/rescue volunteer, which has always made me feel like I’m doing a tiny bit of good in this world. I always feel that if everyone did a little bit of good in whatever area they’re interested in, then the sum total of all of us doing our little parts would make the world a better place.
