Abdi Nazemian
“I approach every moment in life as an opportunity for creativity. Each classroom visit or speaking engagement is a chance to create connection, hope, and inspiration. Stories saved me and shaped me when I was a young queer immigrant, and it’s an honor to share my passion with a new generation.”
