Hoping you will consider Soheila Adelipour for an interview.
Soheila Adelipour would be happy to speak with you about her challenges, her choice to be happy, and of course her newly released book. Soheila lost her son Stefan in a tragic fire while he was away at college. Her son's death was quickly followed with the passing of her brother and sister. Dancing To The Darkest Light tells the story of how she came back from the ultimate sadness. Hard copies available upon request.
Sohelia Adelipour and her family were forced from her home country of Iran during the 1970's revolution. After settling in Long Island her family was plagued by a series of tragic deaths. Soheila fought to find strength through the tragedy. Now living in LA, Soheila ultimately found her way to a release of pain and acceptance of happiness. The book illustrates a beautiful bout of human soul vs. the world. Soheila vividly describes her displacement due to both war and personal loss. Now that she has overcome the tragedy she can finally be happy again.
Soheila Adelipour and her family, being Jewish, escaped the volatile situation in Iran in 1979 after the Islamic revolution and settled in New York. She received her bachelor's degree in Business and her master's degree in Art Gallery Management while her first two kids were in diapers. Life was normal with her 4 kids until tragedy plagued her family. She lost her second son in Boston in a tragic fire accident, then, a few years later, both her sister and brother passed away after enduring long and horrific illnesses. Soheila was there every step of the way during those tough and difficult times, (she was 100% match with her young brother, she gave him her bone marrow and then 60% of her liver hoping to save him). Soheila has established, Stefan Adelipour For Life Foundation in memory of her young son. She organizes fundraising every year and helps people in need, regardless of race, color or religion. At the moment Soheila's main purpose is to give courage and strength to people with her words and experiences.
