Name of Podcast: We Are Possible
Objective: To spotlight members of the South Asian community who are paving their own path. They can be writers, singers, entrepreneurs, anyone who is taking a “less conventional” route and redefining what success means for us. The purpose is to tell the hidden stories of our community in order to inspire other South Asian-Americans but also to educate the non South Asian listeners on our culture and the specific issues we face.
Target Demographic: Both South Asian-Americans and of other ethnicities and backgrounds between the age of 16-28. It would be more powerful to have a significant percentage of non-South Asian listeners because while the inspiration impact will be greater on the community, the education impact will occur more with the non-South Asian population.
