A Message (Payam Banifaz)

Actor, comedian, and aspiring "Iranian cowboy" Payam Banifaz fled a war zone as a young boy. This week on Hey Baby, Payam reflects on the lasting impact of war on a child, shares a story of the prophetic dream that led to his name, and discusses how Orientalism shapes our current narrative about violence in the Middle East, all the while demonstrating how resilience, optimism, and gratitude light the way.
