Offri un caffè a THAT MELIKA

Hi, I’m Melika, a 26-year-old Persian woman living in Canada with a master’s in STEM, severe ADHD, and an unstoppable urge to speak the truth about Iran.

I run “that melika” on Substack, Instagram, YouTube and "thatmelikaagain" on X and Instagram, where I make sharp, honest, and unfiltered content about the Iranian people’s fight for freedom: the ongoing revolution, the beauty that was stolen in 1979, the path to a secular democratic Iran, and the daily reality of diaspora life.

This page is my way of staying fully independent.

No sponsors, no big organizations — just me and the truth.

Every coffee you buy helps me dedicate more time to research, writing, and pushing back against regime propaganda.

If you believe the Lion and Sun should rise again, and you want to support a young Iranian woman who writes with both rage and hope, your support means the world.

Thank you for standing with me.

Payandeh Iran, Javid Shah.
