In part 1 of our 2020 Election series, Deepti, Priya, and Uma have a conversation with Sri Muppidi, a South-Asian American running for city council in Dublin, California. She talks about being a young candidate, the need for diverse candidates, and inspires us to get involved in our local communities. Stay tuned for part 2 of our 2020 Election series, where we talk about the national elections and speak to a first-time Gen Z voter and a friend who phone banked for the Wisconsin Democratic Party.

10. Election Series Pt. 2: Girls Just Want to Talk Politics (Voting & Phone Banking)

Join Priya, Deepti and Uma as they explore life as Desi (“they-see”) Americans. As children of Indian immigrants living in Silicon Valley, California, they are exposed to two contrasting cultures — South Asian and American. In Desi American Life, they invite open discussions about everything from pop culture and dating, to “taboo” topics like mental health awareness, LGBTQ acceptance, and much more. Desi American Life is a place to share stories and to foster a community on the cultural dualities of the South Asian American experience.
