In this episode of Nice to Meet Jew, Ava speaks with Azadeh De Leon, a media executive who grew up Jewish in post-revolution Iran and now lives in Canada. Azadeh shares her family’s incredible story of activism, imprisonment, and escape, and reflects on how those experiences shaped her Jewish identity and worldview. From childhood memories in Iran to producing the documentary Rebound about Yeshiva University’s basketball team, Azadeh’s story is one of resilience, creativity, and connection, showing how identity can bridge cultures, histories, and generations.
