A free-spirited woman, Nimaâs mother was in Chicago having an affair with a prominent man when she was conceived. The woman had herself fooled, thinking he was in love and would leave his family to be with her and this baby she found out she was going to be having.Â
When she told him of the amazing news of what would surely only bring them closer, he got upset and threatened her. His social standing couldnât be jeopardized and he would never leave his family. Not for a woman like her. Nimaâs mother had supposed to have only been a means to blow off steam, nothing more.Â
Frightened by the threats, she ran back home to Vancouver and eventually gave birth to Nima in the backseat of her beat up car.
It was a vehicle that would be her home many times in her youth. Sometimes it was stairwells, but occasionally they got lucky and lived in a rundown apartment. That was when Nimaâs mother had it together and her addictions were mildly under control.Â
When Nima was 15 her mother just kind of left town and disappeared, never to be heard from again. For a while she lived in shelters or with people that would take pity on her as long as she could pay for a room. At that time she worked whatever odd jobs she could get and usually at the soup kitchen.Â
The struggle and her hard work paid off, Nima went to the university and earned herself a broadcasting degree thinking she wanted to go into radio. Shortly following her graduation she opted for film school instead.
As a big fan of film and film noir, she has the dream to bring real art back into film. To make movies how they used to be made, with strong stories and acting performances.Â
During film school, Nima took a chance and created a podcast called Tell Me a Story which is based on having a guest each episode come in and tell a significant story from their life. Something thatâs always stuck with them.Â
Following the success of that, her producer asked her if she had any other ideas and Nima went on to create another podcast. This one a little closer to her heart. Called Who Are You? itâs about a quest for people to find family, to get in touch with the lost ones in their lives and receive answers.
Back during her first year at university, Nima had begun thinking about looking for her dad. Sheâd been wanting to know who he was and if she looked like him, sounded like him, or had any of his traits. And, if possible, Nima wanted to track down her mother.
Sheâs finally at the place of doing her own search and investigation into her own roots, but first that calls for Nima finding her mother.
As of now Nima has a successful podcast company where she not only produces her own two shows but she also develops and produces shows for other talent.
potential connections:
roommates â nima makes decent money but vancouver isnât the cheapest city to live in. plus, with her work she needs to cut costs where she can. currently i have her living in gastown but that is adjustable based on plotting and such. age and gender does not matter for this connection!
production crew â it would be AMAZING to have the producer for her podcasts in play! just a fun venture to toy around with and tell some great stories!
podcast co-host/s â nima has two shows and could use a co-host for either or both of them. theyâre popular shows so it could help with someoneâs career or be a side gig.
the ex â truthfully, nima hasnât dated much or even attempted relationships other than this one. she has abandonment issues and doesnât trust easily. which was ultimately the downfall in this relationship. it was roughly about two years and full of ups and downs as they just couldnât get things to work despite how strongly they may have felt for each other. gender does not matter for this connection!
MORE TO COME!!!
