Shahin it's a women thing. Women from all walks of life. 

 

I won't be surprised to see Googoosh in the next one and Moghbeli the one after.

KAmkAr. There are many gatherings like this in LA. Anywhere from concerts to a sociologist like Holajoui speaking or some sort of jomhorrikhah gathering or even ghadr dani of a singer or entertainer.

 

This organization is PAWC. Persian American Women's Conference is a non profit organization with one simple mission. To inspire, empower and provide unconditional support to women specially Iranian women. Has nothing to do with Pahlavais. Previously they had Foojan Zeine as guest or others like Shirin Ebadi and Massih Alinejad.

 

I personally do not see any problem with this as many of Iranian sisters are supportive of this. The proceedings, other than paying for expenses it also provides assistance to needy Iranian women here and abroad.
