US Desi Diaspora Sharing Diwali Tariff Impacts for WBHM

Diwali + Tariffs! Hello! My name is Vahini and I'm a faith reporter working on a story about how tariffs have impacted Diwali celebrations and preparations for the Desi diaspora across the US. I'm hoping to hear from individuals who have felt increased prices affecting their preparations this year, as well as from business owners who are experiencing changes in their trends given increased tariffs. I'd be happy to answer any questions and share more information with anyone interested in speaking with me. Please reach out via email at [email redacted] or shoot me a text at 205-962-6205. I look forward to hearing from you!
