Welcome back to Jack Of All Journeys! In this episode, host Adi Naidu sits down with the visionary Rita Meher, Co-Founder & Executive Director of Tasveer, the world's only Oscar-qualifying South Asian film festival. Rita's life is a testament to turning personal resilience into global impact, driven by a profound purpose for storytelling and community.Rita shares her deeply personal journey, from a childhood influenced by her disabled mother and her Adivasi caste identity in India, to studying Japanese and producing TV in Japan. She recounts her pivotal arrival in Seattle and how the post-9/11 atmosphere and hate incidents became the catalyst for founding Tasveer, transforming adversity into an ambitious platform for South Asian voices.Beyond building a renowned film festival, Rita's courage shines through her powerful advocacy for caste equity, including her instrumental role in passing the landmark Seattle Caste Bill with Kshama Sawant. We delve into Tasveer's groundbreaking achievement: the acquisition of a theater in Seattle in 2025, earning the Mayor's Award, marking a new home for South Asian cinema. Rita also reveals her vision for a new global distribution company, aiming to elevate South Asian content worldwide.
