S4 E5: Lessons From the Development and Delivery of the COVID Vaccine with Hitha Palepu

How can you talk about just one topic with multi-hyphenate Hitha Palepu? You can't! That's the first thing our host Anushay Hossain learned when she sat down to speak with author, entrepreneur, investor, writer, speaker, and CEO of Rhoshan Pharmaceuticals, Hitha Palepu. In this episode, the two women talk about pandemic motherhood, women and alcohol, the inspiring life of Vice President Kamala Harris, thriving as women of color, and what we can learn from the development-- and delivery-- of the most anticipated vaccine of our lifetime.

Welcome to “Spilling Chai” with Anushay & Friends. You may know Anushay Hossain as the Bangladeshi-American cable news commentator who debates toxic masculinity with Tucker Carlson on Fox News or maybe you’ve read her articles on CNN about toxic white supremacy. While Anushay may be a pro at giving her opinion and analysis on the headlines, something you don’t get to hear her do is ask the questions and talk about something other than the news. This podcast, “Spilling Chai” is about conversations. Anushay wants to feel inspired, and radio is such a great medium to have really in-depth conversations and to take the time to have them. In this show, Anushay is going to be talking to brilliant writers, passionate activists, and amazing artists and she wants you to join us! “Spilling Chai” is also a PSA on behalf of all Brown people that in most of Asia and the Middle East, chai is not a latte. Instead, it’s the best kind of tea and on this podcast, we are all about spilling it. So pour your cup and pull up a seat!
