Ep 23: Anu Sehgal: Founder of The Culture Tree - Promoting South Asian Cultural Literacy in America

Описание: In this episode of the Indian Diaspora Podcast, we sit down with Anu Sehgal, Founder of The Culture Tree — an organization dedicated to promoting South Asian cultural literacy through language classes, educational events, and community-building experiences.

Anu shares her personal journey of moving from India to the United States over 25 years ago, the challenges she faced in finding authentic cultural experiences, and how becoming a mother inspired her to create enriching, immersive programs for children. Through The Culture Tree, she is helping raise bilingual, bicultural children who are proud of their roots, while also educating broader communities to foster inclusivity, empathy, and respect.

Learn how The Culture Tree has expanded beyond language classes to host cultural events, museum partnerships, cooking classes, and celebrations of major South Asian festivals. Anu also talks about her new children's books, like I am a Lotus, My First Hindi Words, and her upcoming Hindi and Gujarati releases that beautifully celebrate Indian heritage.

Whether you're passionate about cultural education, bilingualism, or simply love stories of resilience and community, you’ll find so much to take away from this conversation.
