    Ep. 6: Meet Sukhman Gill

    Toronto-based Sukhman Gill is a model, actor, speaker and entertainer. Sukhman gained traction on Instagram when he began modeling and ever since, he has tackled a variety of art forms and experiences. You may recognize Sukhman for being the face of a Hershey’s Gold ad campaign in Canada or from one of several short films he’s participated in. Sukhman’s most recent YouTube video, a turban tutorial, is perhaps the most clear example of Sukhman’s goals: to educate others about minority groups and diverse populations, especially Punjabis and Sikhs, through entertainment and mainstream media. In this episode, we discuss this goal and Sukhman's many other projects, as well as his advice or other rising artists.  And be sure to follow @pardesipodcast on Instagram and Twitter, and like us on Facebook for updates and more content.

    TEMPORADA 1, TRAILER DO EPISÓDIO 1

    Welcome to Pardesi

    Hey everyone, I'm so excited to announced my new podcast Pardesi.  Pardesi is a collection of conversations I've been having with South Asian artists in the diaspora community about their journeys pursuing careers in creative fields. While we are seeing a lot more South Asian representation in mainstream media, there still isn't a whole lot. About 50% of American-born South Asians are pursuing careers in STEM.  As a journalist, I often get weird reaction from people within my own community when I share with them what I do.  So, I wanted to get the input of the many artists who have gone through similar situations and succeeded.  I hope you all enjoy these conversations! To keep up with Pardesi, follow us on Instagram @pardesipodcast, and visit your favorite podcast platforms for new episodes.
