Ep. 3 Turning Fear into Possibility with Sonal Shah
One of the foremost global leaders on social impact and innovation, Sonal Shah is the founding President of The Asian American Foundation (TAAF). She has also started and led social impact efforts in academia, government, and the private and philanthropic sectors for over twenty-five years.
TAAF is a convener, incubator, and funder committed to accelerating opportunity and prosperity for Asia and Pacific Islanders (API) communities. TAAF supports advocates and organizations committed to AAPI causes so that together they can more effectively take action against hate and violence, and build the infrastructure needed to improve API advocacy, power, and representation across American society.
Tami Bui and Catt Phan talk to Sonal about how together we all can build community, fight against racism and hate, and create a permanent and irrevocable sense of belonging -- how to turn fear into possibility. We question whether fear is too easy of a reason for hate crimes, how to turn scarcity mindset into abundance, and how we must continue making waves for future generations to feel ripples of progress.
