Mira Krishnan: The Otherness of Being Indian, Autistic, and Transgender

June 20, 20163-bottom, Citizen Journalism, Local Faces, WKTV ProjectsAlan Headbloom, Feel Like You Belong, Mira Krishnan, TransgenderJoanne

By: Alan Headbloom – Feel Like You Belong

 

Mira Krishnan knows a thing or two about otherness. She grew up in mostly-white neighborhoods of Michigan, the child of Tamil Indian immigrants. After college, she directed her professional skills from engineering and neuropsychology to helping families with autistic children. As a transgender citizen, she uses her speaking and advocacy skills to speak on LGBT issues. With such a broad range of life experiences, Mira is profoundly qualified to talk about community and the meaning of belonging.

 

Alan Headbloom hosts Feel Like You Belong, a show filmed at WKTV focused on sharing the life stories of immigrants, expatriates, and refugees to the United States.
