One on One with Zarna Garg

On this episode of #WeNeedToTalk Malynda is joined by Comedian Zarna Garg. The two chat about her culture, her journey from India to America,  how she found her way into comedy and her view of America.

Raised in Bombay and living in multiple countries throughout the world, Zarna made her way to the United States at the age of 16. After losing her mother at 14 and facing the choice of an arranged marriage or leaving, she journeyed to America on her own. Her experience immigrating from India to the U.S fed into her deep love for storytelling. She builds her career on her passion for having fun while also sharing her life in America from an immigrant’s perspective. After receiving her B.S. in Finance from the University of Akron and J.D. at Case Western Reserve School of Law, she began exploring her love for comedy and became a screenwriter. From a lawyer and a mom to award-winning stand-up comedian and screenwriter, Zarna now uses her signature style to highlight the immigrant and American experience.
