Sikhi for All with Tegh Singh

In this episode, Shabd interviews Tegh Singh about his experience as a Black Sikh in the community. Tegh Singh is originally from Southern California. He enlisted in the US Army at age 18 and served for over 6 years imbedded in infantry platoons as a Fire Support Specialist - a multi-faceted occupation centred around calling in mortars, artillery, and attack aircraft. After deploying to Iraq and Afghanistan, he married his long time best friend Rusveer Kaur in 2010, which is also when they began studying Sikhi together. As an interracial couple in the Sikh community, Tegh and his wife have faced many challenges before and since having their daughter (now age 4). They currently live in Calgary, Alberta; striving to make Seva the center of their lives; serving veteran and homeless communities, and speaking to youth about Sikhi, overcoming life’s challenges, and developing important life skills.
