    Diaspora Gone Wild: Kamala Harris

    Diaspora Gone Wild covers Kamala Harris! We talk about how she MAKES the diaspora GO WILD, South Asian representation in the US, her political career, and most importantly, her storied childhood and family -- like her walks in Besant Nagar with her freedom-fighter grandfather and his revolutionary friends. We talk about her Jamaican father, Donald Harris, and why no one seems to really be talking about him. All of this and A LOT MORE in this episode about the first Democratic vice presidential nominee of South Asian descent.  Here is the link to the song we play in the episode.
