Brave in the Bay - Indivisible Mid-Peninsula’s Podcast

Carla talks with Tahlia Shahani, founder of REACH, a student-led community organization teaching media literacy, online safety, journalism ethics, and empathy to younger students. The conversation explores how a mix of family influence, international travel, and real classroom experience led her to create a program that helps kids question what they see online and think more critically about news and information. We discuss how Reach grew from a one-person idea into a 15-person team across two states, how its five pillars shape the curriculum, and why TaHlia believes youth voices should lead this work.

He lost his entire family, but eventually immigrated to the United States, where he married and had 4 children. His story of hope, paired with determined action, is one that can inspire us all.
