#tedtalks

Our guest today is an author, public speaker, culture curator, and inclusion advocate - Parmesh Shahani. He is the author of Queeristan - an award winning book about LGBTQ inclusion in the Indian work space.

Parmesh has a career that has spanned academia, media and the corporate world -  including founding India’s first youth expression website, editing fashion and lifestyle magazines, setting up a media convergence think tank at MIT and a lot more. A Ted Senior Fellow and a Yale World Fellow, he has done and continues to do a lot to serve the community and to create a better and inclusive country.

In this episode he shoots straight from the hip and speaks his mind about diversity and inclusion, the LGBTQ situation in India and the role  of family, law, the community itself and society at large in making the world a more empathetic and accepting place.

This is Taking Chances.

This week, I'm traveling north to Maine to spend some time with Zoe Weil: President, The Institute for Humane Education, frequent TEDx speaker, author, all around inspiring human and one of my long time kindness heroines. Zoe has dedicated her life's work to creating a new education model for the world's children and she poses this question:  What would happen if we educated young people to become  "solutionaries" ?

Zoe and I talk about our biggest global challenges, navigating the world with a sense of wonder, reverence and love for all, why her work has the power to transform education and the planet and the message she has for Dr. Jill Biden.
