Disappointingly Hopeful is the theme for this podcast. I am disappointed with the violence all over the world but hopeful for the progress we have made and can continue to make. In this segment I go in depth of what the Black Lives Matter movement is about along with debunking the common misconceptions around it. Furthermore, I talk about how the police also deserve our support for the protections they give us every single day. Supporting BLM or the police need not be mutually exclusive, we can do both. Lastly, the South Asian community needs to do a much better job to support the BLM movement because if it wasn't for their fight for civil rights in America, South Asians would not have the successes they have today.
