It's here guys. Election Day 2020. I thought it would be a good time to understand more about South Asians and voting here in the US and the numbers that we need to know. Here is my interview with the co-hosts of the South Asian Block Party for Biden/Harris, DJ Rekha and Rajan Shah. This is part one of my two-part series.

It's rare to get a chance to sit and chat with a media mogul. Someone who started her blogging career even before the age of Facebook. Someone who had the foresight to see what was missing in a $24B media and entertainment industry. Someone who built her own empire, without anything but her own ambition, the family and friends that stood by her side, and a voice that has been heard and respected in a typically male-dominated field.

A podcast interviewing South Asian trailblazers around the world.

We discuss growing up brown, personal journeys, and topics we could never talk about in front of those aunties and uncles we grew up with.

From the start, DJ Kayper knew that she belonged behind the turntables- scratching, producing and making waves in an industry traditionally dominated by men. From writing fake letters to her parents so she could sneak out to deejay to working with legends such as DJ Jazzy Jeff and Diplo to letting Chris Brown know what's up, Kayper has been fearless and focused throughout her journey. This music savant has not only become a trailblazer for South Asians, she has definitely proved one thing to everyone time and time again-don't judge a DJ by her cover. If there were any doubts that "chicks" can deejay, Kayper is happy to prove you wrong.

Internationally acclaimed performer, philanthropist, author, and public speaker Lisa Rani Ray does not shy away from a challenge. With a career that spans three decades and several continents, this trailblazer has a reputation for taking on issue-orientated films with courage and grace.

Celebrity chef, restaurateur, author, and overall superwoman Maneet Chauhan knows a thing or two about best-laid plans...they often tend to go awry. From India to Nashville, we talk about her journey and relationship with food, what it is really like building a business with her husband, how she didn't know she was going to have twins and why she was born to be a judge on Food Network's Chopped. We discuss her upcoming book CHAAT and the epic train ride through India that inspired it as well as her support for the #BLM movement and what it felt like to open up a few of her restaurants in the time of Covid. After this interview, a road trip to Nashville will be happening.

Ameeth Sankaran is CEO of the Religion of Sports, a media company co-founded by Tom Brady, Michael Strahan and Gotham Chopra. He is also an Executive Producer of Tom vs. Time, Stephen vs. the Game, Headstrong: Mental Health and Sports, and the Why Sports Matter podcast among others.

It's time to toy around! Ok, sorry, had to let that out. We got a chance to sit down and get to know the co-founder of Modi Toys, Avani Modi Sarkar, in this interview where she talked about it all.

It’s the ultimate story of friendship- childhood buddies turned fellow models turned business partners working in one of the world’s most exciting industries. Megha Rao and Pooja Desai Shah both fell in love with fashion- but they were ready to carve their own unique path. We had a blast chatting with them a few weeks ago where they shared their personal stories and how holiChic by Megha was born.
