Interview | Nilo Tabrizy on the Cost of Telling Iran’s Story

In this episode of Growing Up Irooni, journalist Nilo Tabrizy joins Leyla Shams to talk about her groundbreaking book For the Sun After Long Nights — The Story of Iran’s Women-Led Uprising, recently long-listed for the National Book Award.
Nilo reflects on what it means to love a country she can no longer return to, the emotional toll of reporting on Iran from afar, and her friendship and collaboration with Iranian journalist Fatemeh Jamalpour, who reported from inside Iran during the Women Life Freedom movement.

Together they discuss:

  • The personal cost of choosing to tell Iran’s story

  • The rise of forensic journalism and verifying truth in the digital age

  • The trauma and beauty of living between worlds

  • The responsibility and tensions within the Iranian diaspora

  • Why every act of defiance by Iranian women still matters


This conversation offers a rare glimpse into the human side of reporting on revolution, identity, and belonging.
