When Sepideh Hooshyar's father died during her childhood, she suddenly found solace in the night sky. Her conservative Muslim family weren't that happy about her late evening excursions but Sepideh wouldn't be deterred. Ten years later, and with a young family of her own, she's encouraging others to reach for the stars and follow their dreams.
