About this Event

Mary Fariba Afsari, DO, is a board-certified ob-gyn who founded FemForward Health in Portland, Oregon. She graduated from the University of Connecticut School of Medicine Obstetrics and Gynecology Residency and also holds a MS in health communication from Tufts University/Emerson College. She is the author of Labor: One Woman’s Work.

In Labor: One Woman’s Work, Dr. Mary Afsari takes us on a deeply personal and transformative journey through her life as an ob-gyn. Set against the vivid backdrops of Portland, Oregon, and Shiraz, Iran, this powerful memoir intertwines the complexities of her professional life with the hidden truths of her family’s past, exploring the intersection of medicine, identity, and the enduring search for agency.
