Episode 23: Ravjot Singh

Ravjot Mehek Singh is an award winning Indian American Film and TV Director and art activist. With many multifaceted successes under her belt at a very young age, many Indian and American magazines and news outlets refer to her as one of the youngest female directors in Bollywood and one of the only openly LGBTQ+ women directors in South Asia. By the time she was 21, she had directed 3 television talk shows for Dish Network through the largest Asian American TV channel Jus Punjabi. She began directing major Bollywood music videos and was listed as being the youngest ever female music video director to ever be launched by T-Series (India's largest record label) in 2021.
Ravjot's work also takes on installation artwork which has been featured in major galleries such as the Guggenheim Museum in New York City in collaboration with other talented artists and in various art galleries in New England, USA. As a LGBTQ+ activist, she has been featured in countless magazines, articles, and shows including Harper's Bazaar and Cosmopolitan magazine. Her work is often likened to that of the Guerrilla Girls.
Her film and art activism work is driven by a passion to create lasting change not only in the entertainment field, but in society. Her documentary feature debut, "I Stand With Jessy", was not only awarded best documentary at the Dada Saheb Phalke Film Festival (one of India's largest film festivals) in India in 2017 amongst other film festival wins, but also made waves in local legislation to provide better health-care for low income women. An advocate for change through art, Ravjot constantly works with large scale organizations such as Phenomenal, Impact, Sikh Coalition, PBS, and YWCA to create change and advocate for a better, more just future.
