How Curiosity Creates Community: Lessons from the Kumaar Family YouTube Channel
About this Talk
What makes someone spend years documenting cultural differences, everyday family life, and the little moments that connect millions of people across the world?
Join Logesh Kumaar, creator of the Kumaar Family YouTube channel, for an evening exploring how curiosity can become a powerful tool for storytelling and community building. Through personal anecdotes from his journey as a Malaysian living in the United States, Logesh will share how asking simple questions about culture, identity, and everyday life has led to meaningful conversations that resonate with audiences far beyond Malaysia.
