Providing an insightful view from the other side of the door, Aryana Misaghi gives us a glimpse of what it was like as a young child knocking on doors to tell her neighbors about her Baha’i faith. As she recounts her story and experiences, she expresses gratitude for the lessons she learned about connecting with and caring for her neighbors. These lessons included learning how to talk to anyone about difficult things, the unity of humanity, and that community building is something she can do with the simplest acts of connections with and kindness towards the people around her. She encourages each person who listens to her story to find their own ways of understanding others and building relationships in their communities. Charleston, WV native Aryana Misaghi is a medical student at Marshall University's Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine. Before entering the medical field, Aryana worked as a flutist and arts administrator, most recently serving as General Manager for the West Virginia Youth Symphony Orchestra and Adjunct Professor of Flute at Marshall University. From 2015-2017, she was the Music Director at the University of Kentucky's award-winning radio station, WRFL. In 2016, she completed a 4-month internship with the Vienna State Opera in Austria, where she worked in schedule coordination and operations.
Now living in Huntington, Aryana keeps the arts in the center of her life. In the past few years, she has self-published zines covering topics of race, mental health, community, and cats, produced the TV mini-series “Normal For Now”, and was featured as a storyteller for Mountain State Spotlight’s Local Live(s) in 2021. Aryana holds a degree in Music Performance from the University of Kentucky. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
