episode 214: Ice-Breaking: Immigrantly Goes Live with Sway Bhatia at NHL Event
I am thrilled to present an exciting bonus episode to you. Recently, I had the pleasure of hosting a live podcast event on February 19th, celebrating South Asian culture at the NHL New Jersey Devils game in New Jersey. It was a fantastic experience, and I had the opportunity to interview the incredibly talented Sway Bhatia. For those who may not be familiar with Sway, she is a young actress who has captured our hearts with her roles in popular shows like The Mighty Ducks Game Changers and Succession. In addition, she is a multi-talented artist who sings, dances, plays the drums, skates, and does sketch comedy – all while being a teenager. I am genuinely amazed by her talent and her work ethic. Please note that the acoustics are not perfect, but the content is so great that I couldn't resist sharing it with all of you. Before I spoke with Sway, we also had a chance to hear briefly from Donny Khan - Donny is the Senior Director of Hockey Development & Strategic Collaboration at the NHL, and he spoke about the vital work the NHL is doing to reach out to more diverse audiences…in North America and overseas. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with Sway Bhatia – a true inspiration.
