This is my Story
Â
And this is how it all began: "Welcome to Querfunk, I'm Sanaz Saleh-Ebrahimi, I'm from Iran and today, I'll teach you a little bit about our culture..."
Â
My first on-air words working for "Free Radio Karlsruhe" – in German, of course – are still fresh on my mind. I was so nervous, if I had not written down every single word of it, I would have probably forgotten my own name. But I was hooked. And I wanted more, especially: learn more. So I went to University in Dortmund, studied science journalism, did a traineeship at Germany's public broadcaster ZDF and became an editor and reporter there, working on nutrition and health issues for different TV magazines. I produced several award-winning documentaries and also worked for several years on screen: for ZDF, but also for other big public and private broadcaster's like WDR, NDR, rbb and n-tv – as a news-anchor as well as a reporter.
Since 2015, I've been living and working in Berlin, as a freelance journalist, as a host and presenter. In 2024, I started to create my own videos about nutrition, health and lies of the food industry for my own channels on Instagram and TikTok. After a few months, IÂ had more than 250.000 followers and am now regularly publishing public interest videos on important issues. I won several awards and scholarships for my journalistic work and my content creation. During the academic year 2025/2026 I'm auditing classes at Harvard University in the USA, on storytelling, journalism, nutrition, health and AI, among others.
