Shahri Estakhry, KPBS | Union Bank Honoree
By Jamile Palizban, PAAIA Chapter Leader, San Diego
It is with great pride and joy that I share with you that one of our
own Iranian gems, Shahri Estakhry, has been chosen as a local community
hero by San Diego's public radio/TV KPBS and the Union Bank. Shahri is
the founder of the Iranian School of San Diego, which helps
Iranian-American youth be proud of their heritage by educating them
about Iranian culture and the Persian language. Recognizing Shahri as
a Women's History Month honoree is very well deserved given her
impressive contribution to the local Iranian community and San Diegans
in general. For additional information on the cultural diversity
partnership and a link to the KPBS page please click here and look for

the census. So I check Hispanic.
