This week, Alea and Megumi talk with Aiman Shahab, a recent Georgia Tech graduate, about how to advocate effectively, specifically on a college campus. Aiman has worked, directly and indirectly, to advocate against sexual and domestic violence especially in the South Asian community. The hosts and Aiman talk about how anyone can advocate for causes they care about, whether it be working within campus organizations to everyday conversations. With advocacy being more important than ever during the Black Lives Matter movement, TEDxGeorgiaTech hopes that listeners can take away tips for being an effective advocate and ally while in college and in their everyday lives.
