To celebrate Pride, Tasveer organized a panel discussion focusing on all the things that are usually overlooked in discussions about Pride in the South Asian context. In this event, we touched upon topics of race, how to be better allies, starting and continuing inclusive community dialogue, and more.
At Tasveer, we wanted to take this moment to start a conversation within our community on how South Asians can be better allies and show solidarity to our Black community members.
We condemn the ongoing racist and white supremacist acts across our country and in our own region. We are not silent friends. We stand in solidarity with Black communities in fighting against racism and systemic injustice.
Brought to you by your favorite TSAL team, this program is all about meeting a new South Asian author and engaging in a dialogue with them about their writings and experiences interspersed with a few readings, audience Q&A and more.
We are constantly in the quest of ‘what more can we do for our community’. This has taken us on a long road of creative and innovative programs. But we’re still looking for more ways to engage and give to our community what we all rightfully deserve - representation.
