(copy paste of pt-1 discussion) Feels like no words will do justice to explain how privileged I felt to be part of the discussion. The conversation was very fluid and brought up so many points that women (just not in Nepal) have been talking about. I will not write much on the discussion because you will have to hear it to appreciate how great discussion it was.

Counter culture as defined by wikipedia "“A counterculture is a culture whose values and norms of behavior differ substantially from those of mainstream society, sometimes diametrically opposed to mainstream cultural mores.” So essentially if you're not following the traditional profession in your community - you're going counter culture. So to discuss why the counter culture is important we have assembled five individuals who are trailblazers in their own way. They will tell you the story and hopefully their story helps your to make that decision.

James Baldwin, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Hey good people. This is part two of the panel discussion on Race in America, so please go back and listen to part one then come back here.  The first episode, the second part, me and my panelist are discussing the topic of race and try to answer questions like: What are the top three things you’d like the other race of people to understand about you, your race? How important is racial diversity? What is the solution? What does your American Good Place look like? Your American utopia. This discussion has been broken down into two parts because of the content. There is so much information, knowledge, perspectives in this one I had to break it down into two parts.

James Baldwin, “Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.” Hey good people. Sorry if the intro is too loud, I am just way too pumped to be back. But the quote above from James Baldwin sums up what I (we) are trying to do with season 2. We will face, discuss the difficult topics of the society and help you understand other people's perspectives. Empathy will be key with this season.  The first episode, the first part, me and my panelist are discussing the topic of race and try to answer questions like: Why is the topic of race such a sensitive topic in America? What comes to your mind when you hear, privilege, discrimination? Who should address and be accountable for the discrimination and privilege in the bigger picture? How has your identity affected you, for good or bad? This discussion has been broken down into two parts because of the content. There is so much information, knowledge, perspectives in this one I had to break it down into two parts. I will release the rest next Tuesday.

Priyanka d and I met when I was in Nepal after the massive earthquake in Nepal. I met her through of my other ds (d or dd meaning sister in Nepali) and one thing that really stuck out was her positivity and her laugh. She has one of those contagious laugh which make everyone around her happy. She is a early school educator and I cannot imagine a better person than her in the job. She talks about the Rai 'Kirat' tradition and the how death is treated in the culture. This was also a good learning experience for me about the culture we have within Nepal. This is one of those perfect example of an episode where it shows importance of diversity. Listen the follow/ subscribe wherever you listen to podcast.
