Notas del episodio

Janani Ramachandran is City Councilmember for Oakland, district 4. She is the youngest member to be sworn into this position in Oakland, as well as the first South Asian and queer woman of color. Janani talks to host Lahari Rao about how her global upbringing between India and the US informed her perspective to take action locally. As someone who strives to be the voice for the voiceless, Janani has exposure to the trials that face both countries, and shares her thoughts on how South Asians can become more involved and why it is so important.
