The Unexpected Trailblazer w/ Ali Mushtaq Ph.D., MA

A Professor, an Activist, a Mr. Long Beach Leather tittle holder, a Sociologist, a Muslim, a Model, and a Pakistani-American…this might sound like the beginning of some crude joke your uncle shares over thanksgiving dinner, but actually these descriptive titles represent the many facets of one truly amazing man and the guest for todays episode of In Your Mind.Ali Mushtaq PH.D,,MA joins Paul for a deep dive that is as deep as it is expansive in the amount of topics discussed. Which shouldn’t be surprising, given the variety of titles and accomplishments Ali brings to the table. Some harder than others, to imagine belong to the same individual. And it is that unique identity and perspective that has brought Ali so much notoriety. For a muslim Pakistani-american to be a Sociology Professor, a Sex-positive model, a POC & LGBTQ+ Activist and a Mr Leather title holder, seems completely unimaginable. But for Ali, it's just his life. And it's exactly why we are calling him, the unexpected trailblazer.
