Hi friends,
Welcome back to the podcast, today, we will be learning more about Manu Multani, the Co-Founder of Rethink Desi. Multani is a doctoral candidate in Anthropology and Social Change at the California Institute of Integral Studies. She is focusing on how youth formulate their sexual scripts in Panjab, India-- namely, how are they defining romance, love and intimacy and how do phenomenon like globalization influence their decision-making. She is currently working on her documentary film that she shot in Panjab related to her research. She is curious about how the Punjabi diasporic community comes together and wants to capture this through her photography and filmmaking. She is also a teaching and research assistant at her graduate school and holds a Master’s in Global Health. Her previous experiences span the private and public sector on issues such as homelessness and housing, abortion access, being a full-spectrum doula and as a trauma-informed yoga instructor. She currently is the mother of a 10-year-old pup named Poca and is happily married.
