The WON Podcast

On this week's episode, we are joined by DominAsian Magazine, a collective formed together to provide platforms for the South Asian creative community.   Founded by Sophia Green and Aaliya Choudhury, Sophia joins us today to discuss how DominAsian formed, the ideas and visions the collective group share, and ultimately, the reason as to why this platform is so important.   Driven by personal experiences and stories shared by their families and communities, DominAsian was formed to increase South Asian representation within the media, whilst also providing a network of creatives, through collaborative projects and campaigns.   Through this shared vision, the idea of a magazine was realised, to help inspire, empower, and elevate South Asians within and outside of the creative industry.   Want to find out more about DominAsian Magazine?
