In episode #19 of Roots of Humanity, Drew talks to Uptin Saiidi from Southern California about his Iranian roots. Iran is not what you think, and Uptin is on a mission to dismantle headlines and capture the reality. After quitting his job as a CNBC journalist, Uptin started his own YouTube channel, and here he shares with Drew his tips and tricks when it comes to Facebook and TikTok. When it comes to Iran, they talk about revolution, the Iranian diaspora in the US, Tehran as a modern global city, Kurdish culture, Farsi, food poisoning, and why Iran has no McDonalds or Starbucks. We express our solidarity with those currently protesting in Iran for women's rights and justice for Mahsa Amini, who died exercising her right to not wear a hijab.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
