A Southern Girl’s View with Sandy Adams Official Sandy Adams

Today on the show, I am chatting with Kiran Sahota, a Social historian, researcher and public speaker on South Asian history with a special focus on women.
Kiran and I chat about growing up in Birmingham, the start of her research career, that pivotal moment when she quit her full-time HR job to focus on women in history, her family's’ path from India to England and  the film project she is currently working with the help of the military.
What I did totally forget to discuss was her stint as an Olympic torch relay person representing England leading up to the 2012 Olympics.  But, everything else and so much more coming up.

The open road.   Windows down, music playing and the smells of the countryside.  Those are my earliest memories of road trips with my mom, my aunt and my cousin.
 
Some of the best memories of my life were those days packing up at a moments notice and going for a drive with my mom whether it was for the afternoon or the weekend.   The excitement that immediately kicked in and the sense of wonder as we explored backroads and different towns has never cease to amaze me.
 
In this episode, I discuss the 3 most powerful and life changing trips that I have taken.
 
The Philippine Islands 1974
Europe 1998
American West 2010
