ANNOUNCING A SPECIAL EVENT: A Live Podcast with Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal (WA-07) ⚡️
Hello friends! You know I’m not one to barge into your inboxes unexpectedly, but I had to tell you about our very special live podcast happening tomorrow (Tues, June 6).
Tomorrow, at Indian American Impact’s Annual Summit in Washington D.C., I’ll be hosting a live podcast conversation with Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal, the first South Asian woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. IAImpact is an organization working to ensure equitable South Asian representation at every level of government and their Annual Summit is inspired.
If you’re in the D.C. area, we’d love to have you kick off the Summit with us at 9:15AM ET at the Washington Marriott Georgetown! Feel free to send to your friends, too. Anyone can register for free HERE: iaimpact.org/summit
The Summit day will feature panels, workshops, and more led by South Asian community leaders in public service, organizers, elected officials, and more. But no stress if you can’t make it — you’ll be part of the lucky few to get this episode in your inbox soon. 😉 We may even have a livestream link — so be sure to check up on our Instagram tomorrow morning.
Stay tuned, trailblazers.
