What a night! Thank you to everyone who came out for the world premiere of SEAT AT THE TABLE at CAAMFest. We’re still taking in the excitement of watching the film with a packed house that cheered, applauded, laughed, and truly engaged with the film. It was especially meaningful to have several of our film’s participants, @nabeelasyed @dr.amishshah and @vedapriya120 there. This film has been a labor of love, we’re so grateful for the incredible reception and for everyone who helped make the evening so special. The energy in all the conversations flowed into celebrations that continued through the night! A big thank you to @caamedia @doncaam and @sapana3000 for providing us this great platform. Stay tuned for more screenings and opportunities to engage with SEAT AT THE TABLE. Directed by: @saritakhur & @yoyomaa8 Executive Producers: @rj.narang , @nickrathod , Yoav Attias Producers: Sarita Khurana, @preranatd Editor: @sunitadee

Editing this film is a milestone for me. Not just professionally, but as a child of this beautiful, varied, never perfect, always fiercely loving immigrant community. The sounds of Aunties & Uncles shouting over each other in political debate were the lullabies of my childhood. The shouting matches always ended in laughter. Just as we kids fell asleep on the pile of coats in the next room. @seatatthetable.film shows dreams that were planted in us on those nights come true. Thank you @saritakhur & @yoyomaa8 for inviting me to tell this story with you. Thank you @rj.narang @nickrathod @preranatd @arshharjani Suzanne Giordano, Sam Valenti, @ckinggfx and the entire extraordinary team! Come see it at @caamedia Fest on May 9th!

When Bonnie West saw Sunita Prasad’s award winning short film, “Sleep Training”, at a film festival, she knew she had to get her to come onto the podcast! Millions struggle with postpartum depression and anxiety and it isn’t talked about enough. On the podcast Sunita spoke about her personal experiences and the decision to make a film about it. Check out our interview with Sunita Prasad on our 2/12/26 Anxiety Matters with Dr. Bonnie Zucker and Dr. Bonnie Zucker podcast. You can also watch this incredible film for a limited time at: / If you know someone who has struggled with these issues, definitely let them know about the podcast and the film. #postpartumdepression #postpartumanxiety #sleeptrainingfilm #anxietymatterspodcast

For so long, people have questioned our electability, or even bothered to speak to us as a community worth mobilizing. On Tuesday, @zohrankmamdani brought so many of us together and showed what happens when campaigns meet us where we are. Beyond thrilled to see him become New York City’s first Muslim and first South Asian mayor! Mubarak, Mayor Mamdani! In a city heavily marked by 9/11, a South Asian Muslim New Yorker took the lead, and our community showed up in force: aunties and uncles, first-time voters, small-business owners, student canvassers, and rideshare drivers. Grassroots teams organized through community centers, temples, mosques, gurdwaras, churches, union halls, chai shops, taxi stands, WhatsApp groups, social media and multilingual phone banks. This is what organizing looks like when we believe we’re electable, and when people speak to us and treat us as those with power and agency. On the heels of this incredible victory, there is no better way we could announce a new film we’ve been working on, Seat At The Table, a feature documentary coming out in 2026, chronicling the rise of South Asian Americans in U.S. politics. Through unprecedented access to groundbreaking campaigns across the country, the film reveals how we are transforming the nation’s political future. This is not a model minority story, this is the story of immigrants dealing with xenophobia and racism from the moment they arrived in the U.S, fighting for their right to vote, and building political power for our community. Zohran’s mayoral victory is proof of that larger arc. Follow us @seatatthetable.film for more - because this is bigger than one campaign, it’s a groundswell. #seatatthetablefilm #seatatthetable #WeAreElectable #SouthAsianPower #AAPI #NYC #HistoryMade #DemocracyInAction #ZohranMamdani #SouthAsianCandidates #SouthAsianAmericans
