I'm Aunita, an Iranian writer. For me writing is a way to make sense of the world, whether through opinion pieces, poetry, or personal reflections. I moved to the U.S. from Iran at 19 and during the COVID-19 pandemic I taught myself English. Since then, writing in this new language has become a powerful way for me to connect, reflect, and share.
My publication on the Persona Creative Magazine volume 42:
Cooking is another passion I've carried with me through college, a way to unwind after long days of studying, but also a way to stay connected to home. Preparing food reminds me of my family, especially my grandmother, whose love for cooking shaped so many of my memories. Through every dish, I try to hold onto that warmth and share it with others.
