Kamala Harris became a household name in India after her nomination and victory as the Vice-President of the United States of America, alongside President Joe Biden. From WhatsApp messages to newspaper articles to TV programmes, Kamala was celebrated for her Indian heritage and ‘Indianness’. How should one truly think about Kamala Harris and her extraordinary achievements? How does the US Vice-President think about her own identity, and her politics?

Author, foreign editor and journalist Chidanand Rajghatta returns to the Thale-Harate Kannada Podcast to talk about how Kamala Harris might be the most consequential and powerful US Veep till date. On Episode 117, Chidanand talks to host Pavan Srinath and shares the circumstances that shaped Kamala’s formative years, talks about the pioneering woman that her mother Shyamala Gopalan was, and gives us various glimpses into one of the most important political figures of today. Chidanand also elaborates on Kamala’s public rise in the era of Donald Trump, extensive bigotry, xenophobia, and white supremacy.

Chidanand Rajghatta is the author of a new book, ‘Kamala Harris: Phenomenal Woman’ (Harper Collins). Rajghatta is foreign editor and bureau chief of the Times of India, and is one of the longest serving foreign correspondents in Washington, DC. This is his third book, after ‘The Horse That Flew: How India’s Silicon Gurus Spread their Wings’, and ‘Illiberal India: Gauri Lankesh and the Age of Unreason’.

Today’s guest is Lauren Williams. Lauren is a graphic designer and host of the Imperfectly Phenomenal Woman Podcast. In today’s episode, Lauren shares lessons learned about embracing being imperfectly phenomenal as a woman, her process for creating her podcast, and how she inspires guests and listeners to take action in their lives. Let’s take a listen to Lauren’s story. 

I loved listening to Lauren share how she “found herself”, embraced her individuality, and channeled that knowledge into a podcast. Similar to Lauren I love listening to the unique stories of guests and unpacking lessons and themes. Lauren has a great skill in reframing, adding a new perspective to help guests and listeners walk away with a sense of action. If you haven’t already, check out the Imperfectly Phenomenal Woman podcast wherever you listen to podcasts.
