EIC 029: APAHM and Young People in Politics with Shaniyat Chowdhury

The Empowered in Color Podcast: Helping People of Color Thrive in Business and in Life

Happy Asian Pacific American Heritage Month (APAHM)! We are kicking off this month by featuring Bangladeshi-American NY-5 Congressional Candidate, Shaniyat Chowdhury (or Shan for short).

This conversation dramatically changed my views on politics and young peoples/poc's involvement in it so I hope that whether you want to run for public office one day or would like to be more informed at how politics at every level effects you, I highly recommend listening to this episode!

Mentioned on this week's episode:

• Brand New Congress
• Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)
• Shaniyat's Twitter and Instagram
• Shaniyat's website and page to contribute to his campaign
