Roxana is fluent in Farsi (Persian) and her experience as a first generation American informs her passion and commitment to education equity and immigrant justice.
One America released a brand new report on December 3rd about “Reducing Brainwaste”. America sees a huge number of highly educated immigrants that are not using their talents. The report discusses the background and what steps should be taken to help immigrants use their education and talent. This is a critical issue that affects all immigrant communities but especially our South Asian community. Tune in to learn what pathways are being created and how you or your loved one can retrain and learn new skills to put their education to good use!
Thank you to Roxana for taking time out of her busy day to talk to us about this very important issue. Please spread the word- this discussion is of great significance in our community!
Tune in on Tuesday December 8th at 10 am on Desi 1250 AM! You can listen on your radio or live online! Share your thoughts if you do join us!
