A young Queens native is making room for his name on the ballot as he uses his cultural and educational background to be a voice for an often unheard community. Our stranger this week, MAHFUZUL ISLAM, talks to us about starting a tasty street food group called Jhal to help Bengali mothers, New York’s current COVID-19 situation, running for New York State Assembly at just 28 years old, and much more!

The Strange Squad talks about the controversial Never Have I Ever series on Netflix, the shooting of Ahmaud Arbery, and more.

This is the 111th episode of Strange Flavors, brought to you by Alif Theory.
