We will talk with Utkarsh about growing up in a family focused on STEM, finding his passion, and how he speaks out in Hollywood on issues facing AANHPIs (such as representation), and we’ll draw parallels across industries on challenges/barriers facing our community. Utkarsh will also discuss with us how AANHPIs need to continue to speak up and make our voices heard. Indu Ambudkar, PhD, representing the Federation of AANHPI Network (FAN), will also join the conversation to talk briefly about her experiences moving from India to USA and how this impacted her perspectives and views related to her career, family, and more.
