As a student at Tehran University, Nasim Alikhani s dream was to become a judge. But when revolution struck and schools closed, she had to reorient herself and figure out a new dream. In her early 20s, she moved from Iran to the United States. I came here as a student to go to law school and quickly realized I did not have the money, says Alikhani.
Soon, the chef and restauranteur found herself settling down in a new country without any social connections. I knew a few Iranians, but essentially it was me and myself, recalls Alikhani. I had to provide for myself and go to school and just work 70, 80 hours a week. She worked as a nanny, a copier store manager, a senior caregiver, and in restaurants.
