Sinopsis
Welcome Bushra Amiwala for Episode 4! Bushra is a 20-year-old Chicago-based college student who ran for Cook County Board of Commissioners. On her episode, Aditi and Bushra share their experiences with self-care growing up as girls in South Asian households. Bushra dives into her experience as a young woman of color running for office, noting how her outfits, hijab (headscarf), and skin were subject to frequent scrutiny from the public. She continues with a discussion of who has the privilege of being taken seriously. Bushra finally considers how community played a role during her candidacy and how that has informed her feelings about running for office again.
