This episode is the second segment of a 3-Part Series on the topic of Unconventional Career Paths in South Asians and features Aelia Hassan, a senior at Indiana University studying Sports Media and Broadcast Journalism. This dialogue really hits home the idea of empowering young girls to pursue their dreams and passions and in this case, it all began with Aelia's love of sports from a young age. Aelia talks about the struggles she faced and continues to face as a woman in the male dominated sports industry and also her challenges as a woman of color. There is so much to be learned in this dialogue for all kinds of listeners and also a lot to be proud of in terms of unconventional career choices, especially as a South Asian woman, that have led to happiness, success and internal satisfaction.
