Shirin Mori (they/she) grew up in a multigenerational San Francisco household, where as they tried to sleep, they could overhear their grandmother praying to die. A typical day in their childhood included bringing homemade meals from their Iranian grandmother to their Japanese grandmother and translating messages of care between both grandmothers who spoke very little English. Shirin is a writer/director as well as a designer who works on protecting our privacy at a civil liberties nonprofit. In their free time, Shirin is negotiating for their union’s first contract.
