It's Zoya

finally

Hello and welcome to my first post. This Substack wasn't my idea, I didn't even know what Substack was- but here we are. 

It wasn't hard to convince me, actually. I've always enjoyed writing and I enjoy connecting with our community. So I'd like to get into a little teaser of what I'll be writing about in the coming weeks. 

There are a few themes in my life that I enjoy sharing online because I have found them to be helpful to others- not because I particularly like sharing things online, ha.

If you are reading this- please let me know which of these topics you'd be most interested in hearing about. If it's none of them, then perhaps consider unsubscribing.

1. My coming out process

2. Growing up first-generation Iranian-American 

3. Founding and running my start up, Fysh Foods

4. Dating Alix Traeger

5. Creating content on Instagram + TikTok

6. Handling mental health issues

7. Buying a house and co-living with a partner

8. Navigating an interracial relationship

9. Manifesting my dream life

10. How to style black shirts with black pants

In all seriousness- I'm happy to have you all here. I know I come off grumpy online and that's because I AM grumpy. But secretly, I'm also incredibly happy deep down all of the time. My life feels like an actual dream and it took many many years to get to this point so I'm just trying to enjoy now. 

If you're still reading this, it's likely that you are part of the reason my life feels like a dream. Thank you for being on this journey with me.

Tranquilo, 

From Z
