Join us on June 6th at the Indian American Impact Summit in DC as we celebrate the progress our communities have made in the 100 years since the Thind decision and hear from South Asian trailblazers like @ShrutiRya, Dr. Sweta Chakraborty, Swati G. Sharma, Rep. Megan L. Srinivas, MD MPH & more! RSVP: iaimpact.org/summit

Hosts Annika Sharma (Love, Chai out now!) and Nehal Tenany recognized a void in the space of dual-identity South Asian millennials, so they created That Desi Spark.✨ From education, to entertainment, social justice & more, they discuss topics affecting their communities. podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tha…
