Umber & Afsha
This podcast is a safe and inclusive space meant to encourage others to challenge cultural norms and break the stereotypes we’ve been boxed into. We discuss issues such as intersectional feminism, political and social justice, veganism, toxic monogamy, inequality, and our opinions on each topic in an effort to encourage you to question what we've all been taught. As South Asian women, this is our way of taking back power and shedding light on the difficulties of growing up bicultural and acknowledging the topics we were told were too “taboo” to talk about.

Loving our bodies isn't always realistic, sometimes we need to land in a more neutral place where instead of having to say "I love every inch of my body!" we can say "hey body, thanks for getting me through the day." Cue body neutrality, a movement that we've started to learn about and implement into our lives. It's allowed us to appreciate our bodies even when beauty standards keep changing on us.
