Dr. Sheila Nazarian

Dr. Sheila Nazarian is a prominent Iranian-American plastic surgeon and a vocal advocate for human rights. Born in Iran, her family fled the country in 1985 after her father was targeted by the regime. She has since established a successful career in the United States and is known for her outspoken criticism of the Iranian government, particularly regarding its treatment of dissidents and women. Recently, she spoke out against Whoopi Goldberg's remarks comparing life for Black Americans to living under the authoritarian regime in Iran, calling such comparisons 'deeply misguided' and 'offensive' to those suffering under the Iranian regime.
