The California Coalition for Caste Equity is hunger striking for the freedom of our caste-oppressed people. We're counting on @GavinNewsom to publicly lend his voice in support of #SB403. Thank you, Governor Newsom, for your history of standing up for vulnerable communities.

The workshops I host are about connecting, engaging, and growing together. It's a space for us to come together, learn from one another, and grow as a community. Together, we'll discuss critical issues and explore ways to create positive change for ourselves and our communities.

I admire her so much for that and for continuing to live into her values, including making hard decisions to forego opportunities to do what's right. Now, Tina has a new book on Becoming a Sustainable Runner that she's co-written with Zoe Rom.

One of my favorite aspects of facilitating workshops is the opportunity to connect with people while engaging in conversations that truly matter. There's something powerful about being in a space where we can share our experiences, learn from one another, and find strength in our shared humanity.

I was pleasantly surprised when Hena Khan invited me to write an essay for her new collection of short stories. She’s one of the premiere middle grade writers in the country.

In embracing the message of ik oankar, we recognize that there is a divine spark within each and every one of us, regardless of our backgrounds or beliefs. We are all interconnected, and our actions have the ability to impact the larger fabric of humanity.

As parents, it's challenging to raise our children in a world full of difficulties that they can feel so deeply. So how do we equip them with the tools they need to navigate this complex world? It starts with recognizing that the light in our hearts is also in the hearts of others.
