👩🏽👩🏾Trigger warning; this episode contains discussions of abuse, mental health. “We’re never taught about sex, consent, or boundaries- until it’s too late. I had no words to describe what had happened to me. I didn’t even know the word “vagina”. If I had known what good touch was from bad touch - maybe I would have screamed. I’ll never know. I had no words to describe what had happened to me. And by bringing it up, I was told that I was ripping the family apart. I was the one who was violated. But I was made to feel that by standing up for myself all those years later, I was the problem.”Shamila and Niveditha interview Ruhi Lee, author of The Good Indian Daughter. In our most raw, powerful and emotional conversation to date, we discuss parenting, shame, abuse, mental health, and Ruhi’s journey to find self-love and how she found inner peace by liberating herself from the prison of expectations of what it meant to be a “Good Indian Daughter”.We break the code of silence around the deeply problematic and all too common occurrence of child abuse and the context of how this plays out in Indian families. We deconstruct the problematic notion of what it means to be a “good Indian daughter,” and share our stories in an effort to normalise the prioritisation of mental health and share what we think it will take to break the cycle of intergenerational trauma. 👥 facebook.com/weareunapologeticallybrown🌐 hmmmpodcasts.com/unapologetically-brown📷 instagram.com/we_are_unapologeticallybrownProducer: Marcus RimondiniAssistant Editor: Zoltan Fecso🎨 Carla Scotto Art🎼 The Bombay RoyaleYou can follow and listen to Unapologetically Brown podcasts on:SpotifyApple iTunesGoogle MusicSoundCloudPocket CastsiHeartRadioStitcherand more!Email questions to MarcusRimondini@gmail.com⬛🟨🟥 Local Traditional Owners of the land:https://www.aboriginalheritagecouncil.vic.gov.au/traditional-owners-2738-km2-country-and-waters-announced
