Today we tackle self-love through a cultural lens. Our guest Tanzila "Taz" Ahmed is a political strategist, storyteller, and artist in Los Angeles. She creates at the intersection of counternarratives and culture-shifting as a South Asian American Muslim 2nd-gen woman. She's turned out over 500,000 Asian American voters, recorded five years of the award-winning #GoodMuslimBadMuslim podcast, and makes #MuslimVDay cards annually. Her essays are published in the anthologies New Moon, Pretty Bitches, Good Girls Marry Doctors, Love Inshallah, and her poetry commissioned by the Center for Cultural Power, PolicyLink, KPCC's Unheard LA, and more. A protest sign she designed is in the Smithsonian Museum of American History.
