    Description

    Kim Thai is the founder of ganeshspace - which creates safe spaces for challenging conversations around our individual and collective wellbeing. She’s also an Emmy-award winning producer (TED, MTV, VH1) and writer (Fortune, USA Today, the AP)...but we mostly talked about where to find the best Vietnamese food (it’s not in Murray Hill). Born and raised in Houston, Kim’s the proud daughter of Vietnamese War refugees. In a ranging conversation about the push and pull of culture, acceptance, and love - we all agreed that the best food usually comes from the home.

    Sharon Lee Thony and Raman Sehgal are two MODERN MINORITIES - Asian-American industry pros "making it" (?) - even though they never became the doctors their parents wanted them to be. Each week, they are joined by folks of all stripes - entrepreneurs, corporates, athletes, reporters, politicians, entertainers, and more - to uncover how our different cultural backgrounds shape how we uniquely experience the world. MODERN MINORITIES is a collection of conversations about work and life through the lens of race and gender. It is a show where we talk about “the thing” that everyone is thinking about, but nobody is actually talking about it. New episodes drop weekly.
