Synopsis
Now that Kamala Harris is the Vice President Elect, there is a lot to celebrate with this triumphant accomplishment. In this Radiant Mix episode, I have a special guest host, my dear friend Rekha Malhotra, otherwise known as DJ Rekha. We talk about Kamala Harris, multiracial identity, politics, anti-blackness & the caste system within the Indian community & America, the importance of social activism and the effects of one shattered glass ceiling for women of color. Rekha is a DJ, producer, curator, and educator. They have been credited with pioneering Bhangra music in North America via Basement Bhangra club night - the party lasted 20 years! Rekha has done remixes for countless artists and has performed at the Obama White House and throughout the world. Rekha has a Masters in Comparative Media Studies from MIT and produces the weekly podcast Bhangra and Beyond. SHOW HIGHLIGHTS: Celebrating the rise of Kamala Harris and real talk on the mixed perspective from the biracial and South Asian prospective.
