Welcome to Season 2, Chai Podcast family!! I am so excited so pumped to finally be sharing the first episode of this season! I had the pleasure of starting Season 2 by speaking with Rafael Shimunov, who is a digital and creative strategist, he’s worked with a countless amount of grass roots organizations over the past 15 years of his career, and is a social justice warrior. He’s honestly a twitter icon, boasting a casual 54k followers and uses his social media presence to spread awareness about powerful and important social movements, in addition to satirical and pop-culture related content. We talked a bit about his family’s migration to the United States, the difficulty with fitting in when he was in grade school, and the creation of the Progressive Bukharian Facebook group that actually allowed me to connect with him, and to many other Bukharians with similar sentiments. We also discussed the importance of grass roots organizations, groups, and how projects like Progressive Bukharians and Chai Podcast are creating a safe space for resources and conversations to flourish organically, while also serving as a communal space for so many unique and exciting people.
To stay up to date with Rafael’s latest social justice ventures and interests, follow him on Twitter @rafaelshimunov. To learn more about Progressive Bukharians join the Facebook group, @Progressive Bukharians.
