Shirin Wertime--My Dad is an Iranian by marriage

Published: Dec. 6, 2019, 5:23 a.m.

I first ran into Shirin in early August 2019. She attended a community based social hour I had planned. 

If I’m honest, I made the same mistake that so many other Iranians make when they first meet her. There is an assumption, based only on her appearance that she’s not Iranian. 

During our very brief interaction, I knew that Shirin would be perfect for this series.
