Chaivory Tower is a podcast by Sidra and Zainab: two South Asian Muslim women navigating being Brown in America. We came together because of the Internet, and our shared interests in how planning and policy decisions impact communities of color. We wanted to create a space for a conversation from perspectives that aren’t elevated in academia, document our journeys through graduate school, and create fun content. Join us as we discuss public policy and urban planning issues, pop culture, how not to be completely destroyed by capitalism and more!
