The Art of Etiquette

Pianist and jewelry designer Marjan Majd is the mother of Tara, my guest in the pervious episode. Marjan shares lessons she learned from her Iranian mom Fahri on Bahai religion, focusing on the positive and the beautiful in life, and “Taarof” - old Persian art of etiquette. We also spoke about differences between European, Iranian and American cultures, about arranged marriages, teaching your children about finances, and about lessons which trickled down multiple generations of women in her family. You can find Marjan's jewelry in her Etsy shop here.  To contact Ana, please send your mail to: [email protected] For more about “Thank You, Mama" and to subscribe to a monthly dose of mothers' wisdom, please visit: http://www.thankyoumama.net
