Modern Minorities

Sharon Lee Thony and Raman Sehgal are two MODERN MINORITIES - Asian-American industry pros "making it" (?) - even though they never became the doctors their parents wanted them to be. Each week, they are joined by folks of all stripes - entrepreneurs, corporates, athletes, reporters, politicians, entertainers, and more - to uncover how our different cultural backgrounds shape how we uniquely experience the world. MODERN MINORITIES is a collection of conversations about work and life through the lens of race and gender. It is a show where we talk about “the thing” that everyone is thinking about, but nobody is actually talking about it. New episodes drop weekly.

Always good conversations on relevant topics handled in a thoughtful way. Maybe disproportionately more comic book/graphic novel content that one would expect. Enjoyable.
Utter garbage

I love love love this podcast! Due to personal issues, I need to rest my eyes often preventing me to read books for leisure or down time. I’m a visual “learner” and never enjoy audiobooks and so I was a bit skeptical with podcast. But this podcast got me hooked! Wonderful guests sharing their perspectives and stories, some of which I can relate to as a female immigrant making into the mainstream America and other perspectives I’m intrigue to learn or never have time to digest or think through before. The bonding of Both hosts is genuinely real with deep relationships. Perhaps an unintended consequence - listening to these stories help me think deeper about what kind of parents I want to be for my two kids (one in college, one in high school). I’m hooked with this podcast, will go back and listen to the old episodes! Raman, yes, I’m hooked with Warriors now, thanks for recommending it! Great job, look forward to hear from this podcast! So true, this is “about all of you for all of us”!!!
Terrific podcast

I’m loving your series on Muslims. Having a variety of perspective is important to show the world the diversity in culture and the unity in belief. You guys do a great job of covering a variety of good people.
Love Sarah’s Episode

I stumbled upon your podcast in Linkedin. I’m Indonesian recently taking grad studies in the U.S. and was the first time switching from being majority to be a minority, in a highly liberal school. I got to experience and had to adjust with a new way of life, at least for almost two years and I really enjoy the company and stories of muslim community in my campus. I really enjoyed Sarah’s story of being a muslim minority, and it is very heartwarming to hear such a strong faith that she had despite given a freedom from her families to explore faith. Thank you for the episode, really love it!
a necessary ear gift

This is a gem of a podcast that's equally entertaining and educational. The guests are truly enlightening with their honesty, as they share parts of themselves with Sharon and Raman, and in turn with us, the listener. Everyone's stories are different, but that's what connects us. I highly recommend this podcast to anyone who's interested in other people, because hearing their stories helps us learn more about ourselves. Whether it's a societal challenge, struggles with a family member, or a funny anectdote about a child, you won't be disappointed by hitting that subscribe button. .....what would your answers be to the "speed round" questions?
Wow. I didn’t know this existed.

I took a GA digital marketing class on a whim and was immediately drawn to the instructor Sharon’s credits which included something called the Modern Minority podcast. Modern Minority? That sounds a lot like reclaiming the Model Minority stereotype. It is! This podcast shifts the dynamics of the model minority stereotypes, and utilizes our unique/diverse/nuanced experiences to give ourselves power and celebrate that. I am so thankful that I stumbled upon that class and subsequently this podcast. As a pediatric ER registered nurse, It is refreshing to hear about folk’s experiences from different industries as I consider the prospect of taking on a new shift in career myself. Thanks for this gift.
No matter how you identify, Listen to this podcast!

Absolutely worth the time. Interesting conversations, timely and thoughtful. It’s really important for me as a white person because it’s too easy to assume that everyone’s experience is like my own. Also I knew Raman at the University of Alabama forever ago and he was so fun then and I know we’d still get along great now. Fantastic work Raman and Sharon!
Inspirational!
