A Desi Woman Podcast is joined by Kentucky State Representative Nima Kulkarni to discuss how immigration is much more than a political catchphrase for her. We also review the policies of the current GOP as it pertains to immigration, social & racial injustice, and the need for politicians to place politics and constituents over party. In 2018, Nima became the first Indian immigrant to be elected to the Kentucky House of Representatives. She serves on the Judiciary, Economic Development, and Licensing & Occupations committees, and was the only woman appointed to the Public Assistance Reform Taskforce. Nima has been an immigration attorney for over a decade and is a member of the Kentucky, Georgia and Louisville Bar Associations.
