Modern Minorities
Hosted by W!ZARD Studios · EN
MODERN MINORITIES is about minority voices for ALL OUR majority ears. That's right, solving racism with a podcast. Since 2019, we've been uncovering the stories, perspectives, and often unspoken truths about how all of us uniquely experience the world. It doesn’t matter where you’re from, the color of your skin, or who you love - this is a show about all of you, for all of us. Created by Raman Sehgal and Sharon Lee Thony, with lots of love and support from our many FrieMMds of the Pod - himom@modmypod.com

Nov 1500:53:18Tap to summarize" Whatever bad situation you're in, it is really your will to want to change.

May 20, 2021Tap to summarizeChinatown, San Francisco - the 1870s. Everybody was Kung-fu fighting (ok, not everyone, but a LOT of people).Raman’s been trying to convince Sharon for MONTHS that she needs to watch WARRIOR - the hit show on HBO Max originally created by BRUCE LEE, executive-produced by his daughter, Shannon Lee (no relation to Sharon), and Fast & Furious director Justin Lin.WARRIOR is a period piece that goes deep on race in America, and has some sweet kung fu, and very attractive (Asian) people.
