I am happy to share Dr. Tahereh Ahdieh who shares her Bahai faith and the powerful story of her courageous and visionary Persian namesake, the 19th Century Táhirih, "The Pure One." Tahirih (Fatimih Umm-Salamih 1817- 1852) inspires today. In 1852, at the age of 38, Tahirih was executed for her beliefs and activities. Her last recorded words were, “You can kill me as soon as you like, but you will never stop the emancipation of women.”
Dr. Ahdieh is a 7th Generation Bahá’í. She shares the beauty of her faith and is simply captivating in her sincerity and wisdom. She and her husband, Dr. Hussein Ahdieh teach about Tahirih, sharing this heroine across time and cultures. |
