When she moved to Los Angeles with her family in 1985 she had to
pursue a more practical career. She studied at FIDM and
American College for the Applied Arts and she worked in the

due to her pregnancy in 1999.
Morgan and Amir have faced many challenges, but
none greater than the tragedy that took place at the birth
of their one and only daughter Yasmin on April 2000. Through a
series of neglect and misdiagnosis their full term child was
delivered brain damaged after 18 hours of labor. Although every
day is a blessing, it is also another day of endless experience
of pain and suffering for all of them.
