Description

"These stereotypes of 'nerd girls are awkward' really plays on kids' minds. The world needs to know smart women who are very strong in their thinking and perspectives."
Shalini Govil-Pai is a tech and media executive at Google, who previously worked at Pixar on films like Toy Story and A Bug's Life. Shalini’s worked on partnerships across YouTube, Netflix, Disney+, and HBO Max - at the center of disruptive technology, challenging herself to educate, entertain, and inspire globally. It was a great chat about her experiences coming up in a very male-dominated technical field, and the lessons learned along the way, as well as some of the reflections on today’s media culture. Whether growing up in Bombay / Mumbai India - surrounded by Bollywood (and Amitabh Bachchan) - or creating a new life in America and the Silicon Valley, Shalini’s not afraid of taking risks and challenging the status quo - all because of her deep connections with her family, friends, and community.

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.
