In this episode of the show, I interview my guest Tim about the current racial climate from his perspective as a Bengali American. Tim is a father, a husband, and a professional photographer. He worked for the Virginia State police in the emergency management division, and has since transitioned into a career as an IT consultant for the VA. Our discussion in this episode focuses on how Tim's experience as a Bengali American has shaped his view of himself within America's racial hierarchy. Tim also helps me better understand my own racial identity and how it has influenced me in very unique ways. We also talk briefly about some ways that employers can work to remove systemic racism from their hiring processes.
