About this listen

 In this episode of Brown Art Network, Sneha and Keerthi talk with Tanzil Ahmed, a political strategist, storyteller, and artist based in Los Angeles. They talk about her career as a writer and activist, the experiences she had when building her career to what is now, and some of the mediums she has released. They also dive into her latest collection Grasping at This Planet Just to Believe that was written through 10 Ramadans. Finally, they end the conversation with talks about the South Asian identity, advice for up-and-coming activists/writers, and how to keep connected with South Asian American history that isn't typically taught in US history.
