The Craft with May Globus

Gelareh Darabi is a fascinating human and storyteller. This eloquent multi-platform journalist, documentary filmmaker, and international correspondent has worked with National Geographic’s Explorer series, Al Jazeera English, and other media outlets, focusing on science and the environment.

She grew up a lover of nature, thanks to frequent outdoor walks with her family when she was a child. Her natural curiosity and love for oration led her into investigative journalism, taking her to six continents and over 20 countries. She’s covered the Iran water crisis, the Australian bushfires, indigenous resistance in the Amazon, and more.

In this conversation, we explore her familial dynamics, her deep interest in the mystical and spiritual (a compass that's guided her in life), what makes a good journalist, one universal truth she's learned about people from different cultures, and more.

What is The Craft with May Globus?

The Craft is an audio-visual collection of intimate conversations with creatives, entrepreneurs, and pioneers across disciplines. Each episode weaves through their personal backstory, creative process, and way of living—an exploration of the humanity that connects us all.

Alongside the conversations, the show’s visual storytelling—through editorial-style photography—offers another way in. Like a modern-day magazine editorial, each image is a quiet window into the spirit of the guest and the world they’re shaping.
