I created Project Neek out of silence, with yearning—because I know too well what it means to walk a path without a guiding torch, to bear the weight of the world alone and unheard.
I grew up with no one to say, “Turn to me.”
So I carried my wounds in silence, waiting for a light that never came.
This project is my promise to be that light for others who find themselves in the same place: unseen, uncertain, and in need of direction.
In whatever way I can, through teaching, listening, or simply being there, I offer the wisdom I needed but never received.
Project Neek is more than a space for learning.
It is a quiet refuge of hope and belonging.
A soft, steady companion for anyone brave enough to dream while the world remains silent.
Together, we turn loneliness into strength—and silence into a symphony of possibility.
پروژه نیک رو از دل سکوت ساختم، با یه دل پر از دلتنگی—چون خوب میدونم یعنی چی وقتی هیچ نوری سر راهت نیست، وقتی مجبوری تنهایی بار دنیا رو به دوش بکشی، بیصدا و بیشنونده.
تو دنیای من کسی نبود که بگه: "بیا پیش من."
برای همین، دردهامو تو خودم ریختم، منتظر یه نوری که هیچوقت نیومد.
این پروژه، قول منه برای اونایی که تو همون جای تاریک گیر کردن؛ اونایی که دیده نمیشن، نمیدونن از کجا شروع کنن، و دنبال یه نشونهان.
هرجوری که از دستم بر بیاد—با درس دادن، شنیدن، یا فقط بودن کنار کسی—میخوام همون چیزی باشم که خودم هیچوقت نداشتم.
پروژه نیک فقط یه فضای آموزشی نیست.
یه پناهگاه آرومه؛ یه نقطهی امید؛ یه همراه بیسر و صدا برای اونایی که با دل خسته هنوز رویا دارن، حتی وقتی دنیا هیچی نمیگه.
با هم، تنهایی رو تبدیل میکنیم به قدرت.
و سکوت رو، به یه سمفونی از امکانها.
Because I’ve seen what silence steals. Because I’ve held too many girls who were ready to give up. Because one of them, my friend, was five minutes away from me in Calgary, fleeing for her life as a queer woman in Iran. We filed her refugee claim together. She survived. Now, she thrives. That is enough reason.
You are not asking for too much. You are not broken. You are not alone. You can choose a life no one expected of you—and you can win. If no one ever told you that before, let me be the first.
For over three years, Project Neek has been more than a platform—it has been a lifeline, a gentle rebellion, and a gathering place for Persian girls seeking light in the dark. Born out of silence, shaped by stories, and carried by compassion, it stands as a living reminder: you are not alone, and your voice matters.
In a world that often tells girls to shrink, we offer a compass—grounded, steady, and deeply trusted. Whether navigating school, immigration, or life’s unknowns, Project Neek empowers through clarity. The advice shared here isn’t abstract—it’s rooted in lived experience, passed from one hand to another like a torch in the dark.
We know what it means to feel invisible, overwhelmed, or silenced. That’s why this space exists—to remind every girl that despair is not the end of the story. Like the messages we’ve received at 3 a.m., where hope was found between sentences, we hold space for sadness without shame—and always, we point to possibility.
We don’t just listen; we ignite. With every conversation, shared resource, and moment of understanding, Project Neek becomes a spark. A trigger for movement. A push toward growth. Girls here don’t just survive—they begin to reshape their lives. Quietly, powerfully, persistently.
This is more than a support network—it’s a sisterhood. Built not on judgment, but on care. There’s no need to explain yourself here. You’re already understood. You’re already enough. From whispered fears to hard-won victories, we’ve built a place where presence alone is a kind of love.
No two stories are the same—so neither is our support. We meet girls where they are: with study tools, future planning, emotional grounding, or simply someone to say “I see you.” The beauty of Project Neek lies in its responsiveness, shaped by the questions and needs of those who show up.
This isn’t an organization. It’s a promise kept.
Three years on, Project Neek stands as living proof of what can happen when one girl dares to care—and others dare to believe in that care. We’re still here. We’re still growing.
And we’re not done yet.
