She is the daughter of the Iranian Revolution — raised in a family tied to the Shah’s cabinet, military command, and intelligence apparatus during one of the most consequential regime changes of the 20th century. Her family lived through the fall. Some were tortured. Some stayed behind. Some helped orchestrate rescue operations to free American hostages. And she carried that history with her into America’s military and nuclear operational world. Today, Sheila is the Co-Founder and Director of Operations for Lotus Shadows, a nonprofit dedicated to combating human trafficking and rescuing vulnerable children through strategic recovery operations, survivor support, and awareness initiatives. Her background in recapture and strategic operational management of national assets now fuels a different mission — the recovery of stolen children. This is not a surface conversation. This is about revolution, regime collapse, intelligence networks, child exploitation, and the fight to protect freedom before history repeats itself. This is Steel News where truth survives pressure.","meta_description":"FEATURING: SHEILA GALLO https://www.lotus-shadows.org/index.html Sheila Gallo is not your typical anti-trafficking advocate.
