How did you get your start into visual media specifically and why choose or stay with these topics when doing visual media?

Nisha BalaramGUEST
Well, I think that, I mean, I think anyone and you know, I would say that, you know, you involved in this podcast, we all can, we only can start from where we are, right? So I think that for me, obviously, I have my limitations.

Nisha BalaramGUEST
But, you know, I start from the very beginning about being Asian, but also being multiracial.

Nisha BalaramGUEST
And it sounds cliche, but you know, when you're a young child, and you're trying to figure out your own identity and you find out your different things, you realize that there's conflicting opinions about what that means.

Nisha BalaramGUEST
I think from a very young age, I was aware of racial justice and human rights from a very innocent perspective, right? I think I'd be like, oh, I'm brown and white.
