So much fun meeting the talented founders behind new desi inspired treats, clothing, jewelry, home goods and more at the recent Milna Market! Gained a few pounds thanks to Bangladeshi sister duo .sister.co and as always some earrings from our fave .usa (donuts by Decadent Donuts, Brooklyn Delhi)

So inspired after Team Alaap’s outing to last Friday to see the documentary, In Search of Bengali Harlem. 🎬✨

Having had the privilege of collaborating with .ullah previously on Dishwasher Dreams, we were absolutely thrilled to see this cultural storytelling and lost history of South Asian immigration in the US brought to the screen by Aladdin Ullah and . Highly recommend watching it!

Also enjoyed hearing from a panel of activists who are leading and organizing our communities everyday - we are grateful for your work. 🙏🏾
