Are you feeling down about yourself? Maybe it's the year 2020, with the protests and the pandemic? Or Maybe it's some personal challenges your fighting through? Don't worry you're not alone and even better, good things are coming your way, this podcast episode being one of them. In this one, my mom and I talk about uplifting yourself when your in a dark place and how important it is to trust that good things are coming your way. My mom and I discuss the meaning of success and how sometimes trusting the universe is the best way to go about it. What's interesting is that my mother talks about her journey as an average student who ended up enjoying a ton of success in the long run. The biggest thing that I took away from this is how it is important to take opportunities as they come and believe that success will come to you.

In this one, I had the honor of talking to renowned musician varun das on his music journey. He talks on working hard, how to measure success not on what society sees as success but with your own terms of success, and how passion can overcome any challenges. Varun has created many of his dreams into a reality and learning about his experience was so valuable for me. If you like the podcast, make sure to rate it and leave a review.

"We are the soul, we have a body" - Jay Shetty. This quote embodies the message I want people to take away from listening to this episode. Since we are all souls, the idea of discrimination should be obsolete and not even come into question. 

This episode is a tribute to George Floyd and the Black Lives Matter Movement. I call it "a revolution in the making" because social media and protestors and many communities are working to fight for justice and I believe real change will occur. If we continue to give this issue the attention it deserves then the course of history may truly change forever. 

In support of the movement, I will be donating every cent I make from this podcast between June 8th and August 8th to the Minessota Freedom Fund, Black Visions collective, or any other organization supporting the Black Lives Matter movement. I will be revealing how much I ended up donating on my instagram @journeyincolor_.  My goal is $300 sopPlease share with your friends so we can raise the money and shed light on such an important issue. 

I talked to Lavanya Ande on how she is using her TikTok and Instagram platform to create representation for her Telegu community. We discussed skin color, how it's cool to be Indian but not necessarily cool to be Telegu, and how to embrace your culture.
