🧡 Love and sex in the South Asian diaspora

POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

I was so grateful to be apart of this intimate, and intentionally curated event by the founder of Brown Bodies - @anisah_ob Brown Bodies is a platform that features stories of the South Asian diaspora from our own voices. Anisah identified a problem that existed within the South Asian diaspora, and took it upon herself to bring about change in talking about sex, relationships and love, and how it impacts us.

Asking ourselves how do we view it, what have we heard about these things growing up, and how do they paint the lens on how we see the world?

Anisah is extremely meticulous, intentional and gracious with this space, and it’s been an absolute pleasure supporting her in bringing this event to light.

She invited @sunny.lb1 from @latebloomerseries , and myself to share our perspectives on this topic. Sunny chatted about the lessons he learnt about intimacy growing up, how that’s changed his relationship to love and sex now, and how that impacts the stories he tells, and characters he plays. I shared my perspectives on how this shapes how we see the world, and the themes I see in my work as a therapist.

If you’ve watched Late Bloomer, or know Sunny, you know that the room continued to erupt in laughter through his candidness, transparency, and relatability regarding his life experiences. He has the ability to make you feel as though you’ve got nothing to hide, and nothing to be ashamed of.

Here’s a little snippet of the event, if you’re interested in future events, writings, and supporting Brown Bodies, the experiences shared on the blog is a great place to start! See if it resonates with you, and why it’s important to share this space with others.

Also the chai at @mayilcoffee was incredible, a big thank you to their team for the space, and delish snacks. And most importantly thank you to everyone who showed up!! You make experiences like these possible:) 🥰

I commented on a post by @lifewithdoctormon which blew up, because it turns out, so many South Asian women have experienced the same.

Have you ever noticed “she’s so modern” is often used inter-culturally to insult south Asian women?

Last night. Was great. @manyreasonstobecheerful with @markshayler At Home. Community. Two great talks @bobshankly about his amazing jeans collective @mttr.dnm look into those beauties and see about enough being enough and also don’t forget to Be More Bob - natural humility is very attractive. Great chat also about @brown.bodies from founder and tech whizz @anisah_ob which was all really thought provoking and interesting.
Met some great people and loved being in that beautiful garden amongst the entire Shayler family - who are all so great. Didn’t we have a lovely time @zoranarzanicanin #letsgoagain #greatnight #listeningandlearning Big thanks to @ebmsoderstrom for the introduction 🩷#enoughisenough #bemoreBob #womenintech

Last summer I recorded an interview series, and truthfully, I lost my nerve and never posted them. Despite quite a lot of effort..!

My first interviewee was @anisah_ob, a wonderful friend who never ceases to amaze me and is generally a fantastic person to be around. Aside from her impressive impact on diversity in the tech industry, she runs @brown.bodies. A Substack dedicated to breaking taboos surrounding love and sex in the South Asian diaspora: interviews, recommendations and candid chatty moments.

I urge you to follow Anisah and read @brown.bodies if this is a topic you’re currently confronting, interested in, or just curious about.

Let me know what you think and whether I should post more of this type of content 🤍
