This week we have an episode different from what we normally do. We spoke with our assistant Monisha Shah, back in August of 2017 when we met to talk CTP. We spoke to her how she re-connected with her culture via joining a sorority & minoring in South Asian & Women Studies during her undergrad. We also talk about the nuances within the desi community & end up chatting about the white supremacist rally that took place in Virgina. Listen in as we shoot the shit. 
As always, music has been provided by the ultra groovy Kaly. Be sure to check out his latest project "AntiSocial". kalymusic.com.

Ep. 36 - Shooting the Shit

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
On our first episode of 2018 we speak with Jessie Brar. Jessie works as a speaker for a national youth organization called Jack.Org, raising awareness for youth mental health in high schools, colleges and universities. She also runs her own project called The Mental Health Spotlight, which focuses on raising awareness about South Asian mental health through story telling. You may have also seen her writing on Brown Girl Magazine! 
Listen in as we speak to Jessie about her past, what has influenced her to share her own story, and why she feels so strongly about being an advocate.
Find her on Instagram & Facebook @themhspotlight.
"I'm hoping to raise awareness so that no one has to suffer in silence." - Jessie Brar

Ep. 35 - Suffering in Silence

We had the wonderful pleasure of speaking to producer, writer, & author, Sri Rao. He wrote the film Baar Baar Dekho of Kala Chashma fame & is currently developing a show for ABC with Madhuri Dixit & Priyanka Chopra. From Pennslyvania to Bollywood, Sri's first big gig was producing the hit movie New York, starring Katrina Kaif, John Abraham, Neil Nitin Mukesh, and Irrfan Kahn. Listen in as we talk about intra-cultural haters, faux Bollywood fans, the cache of being an outsider, and being a kindergarten playwright.
