Today's episode features Anisha Singh, the Executive Director of the Sikh Coalition – the most prominent Sikh civil rights organization in the U.S. Wondering what Anisha does? She's been at the forefront of combatting hate crimes and ensuring the Sikh community's rights are upheld nationwide.
With a background working with big names like the Planned Parenthood Federation and the Center for American Progress, Anisha is licensed to practice law and even secured a significant win in a discrimination case against the U.S. Army.
Join me as Anisha, and I dive into an inspiring conversation about the Sikh Coalition's game-changing work and what drives her passion for justice and equality for all.
