The Story Behind A Title
Jananie Baskaran
10 episodes
1 week ago
When we meet someone, we’re more likely to ask them what they do more than how they’re doing. Our “titles” have become a very prominent way of defining who we are and sometimes even restricting us into a specific stereotype. However, the story that lies beyond those titles will open up limitless conversations that help us understand someone in a more personal way. “The Story behind a Title” is about having conversations with the human beyond the titles they hold and understanding how their expertise creates an impact in the life of others.

Empowering the Tamil Community: A Visionary's Journey with Vijay Thanigasalam

Vijay Thanigasalam is a Member of Provincial Parliament of Ontario and the Associate Minister of Housing. After escaping a childhood filled with fear and uncertainty, he used his privileges in Canada to become the leader he is today and continues to inspire many youth to follow their heart to become leaders of the next generation. I’m glad I got to have this conversation with Vijay to give you a glimpse of who Vijay is behind his current titles!  


On this episode of The Story Behind A Title, Vijay and I discuss

  • Introduction / Vijay’s childhood and moving to Canada

  • What sparked his interest to be involved in the community from a young age?

  • How did his close circle react to his involvement in the community?

  • His involvement in the arts and his passion for dance! 

  • His inspirations / role models

  • Making the decision to begin his political journey

  • Facing criticism and handling naysayers

  • His message to Tami Youth 

  • The Tamil Community Centre in Scarborough Rouge

  • A few lighthearted questions
