Rock The Boat

The challenge of our day seems to be finding time to squeeze in all the things we want to do.  This week, we speak with Deepti Sharma. Deepti is a busy entrepreneur, mother of two, and an activist for small businesses and working mothers. Eight years ago, she started a company called Food to Eat that connects companies with immigrant, women, and minority-owned food businesses for team meals.  We talk to Deepti about how she manages to find time for everything: her company, her family, and all of her passions.  We also discuss: What it was like to grow up in a traditional Hindu family in Flushing, Why Deepti decided to start a company over going to law school, 
 How she’s discovered the importance of advocating for herself and others as a woman of color, and 
 Why we need more Asian American political participation
