MYLA

“Shally is a Morning News Anchor, Award-winning Journalist, Wife, and Mother to four children. Recently, she added author to her list of accomplishments. Shally often uses her media platform, both on-air and on social media, to share her life experiences and challenges. Shally was bullied in school and even as an adult, which motivated her to write her story for families and children in hopes of inspiring them to find their light and shine it bright.”

Myla Caterpillars Become Butterflies’ is a story about a young girl, Myla, who struggled with fitting in and being teased for her appearance. Myla often felt alone and left out due to the bullying she endured throughout her schooling years. Her Mother comforted her and reminded her that we are all on our own journey to spread our wings and fly. Myla’s confidence grew over time, and she realized that with love, kindness, hard work, and dedication, she could find her wings and fly like a butterfly. This book is a perfect read for children struggling with bullying or adults who have experienced the same.

Shally’s daughter, Shyla, who was the inspiration for the main character Myla, loves dolls and considers them to be her friends. As a gift to her and other children, Shally brought the character Myla to life as a doll that can be ordered with the book.

Weddings

Weddings with Shally

Two couples.Two letters. Both asking me to officiate their Persian-American weddings.
I remember thinking, “But I’m just the news lady!” Now, I have the joy of standing beside incredible couples, helping them say “I do” and “Yes to love.” Each ceremony is personal, heartfelt, and uniquely yours — blending tradition, culture, and the beauty of your love story.
Want me to officiate your wedding? Reach out for more details — I’d be honored to be part of your special day.

about

Shally Zomorodi is a morning news anchor who has spent almost two decades waking up San Diego with her energy and warmth. A former pageant winner who once held the titles of Mrs. California Globe and Miss Orange County USA, she credits those experiences with giving her the confidence to pursue her dream career in broadcasting.

Fluent in Farsi and experienced in both local and international reporting, Shally also hosts her podcast Shally & Friends LIVE, where she talks candidly about life, family, and everything in between. Her love for connection has even inspired her to become a licensed officiant for Persian American weddings.

Away from the spotlight, she enjoys cooking, belly dancing, and traveling with her husband Bruce and their four children—Arshia, Arshan, Shyla, and Shayden. Of all her roles, Shally says being “Mommy” is her greatest joy.

“Life is not about waiting for the storm to pass, but about learning how to dance in the rain”
