During this time, she struggled with mental health and faced personal hardships including her experiences on her college's cross country team. Nerina describes her journey out of this dark time and how she was able to find positives and work hard to achieve what she wanted. After two years of grit and hard work, she was accepted to UC Berkeley. Nerina's journey illustrates the importance of support and asking for help.

  • Starting A Political Minority Movement in a Predominately White Institution - Creating a Better Tomorrow - Manmit Singh Chahal

    Starting A Political Minority Movement in a Predominately White Institution - Creating a Better Tomorrow - Manmit Singh Chahal
    May 31 2020
    Juan Perez and Manmit (Manu) Singh Chahal discuss life as a 19 year old 2nd year 1st generation Desi-American Comparative Ethnic Studies student at Cal Poly SLO in today's episode. Dive into Manu's college decision process and how he ultimately chose Cal Poly SLO because he saw a struggle he wanted to be a part of. Manu jumps on any chance to use his voice and incite meaningful change. The opportunity to spur change at a predominately white institution was too good to pass up. In 2020, his run for Student Body Government marked the beginning of a movement. His platform, The Coalition of Love, was met with early success and has big plans for the future.  Manu truly embodies what it means to be a minority leader looking to create change and go against societal norms.
