"This was so enlightening, I loved every minute of it." - BreeThis redemptive episode on yoga and Black and Indian relations features host, Roopa Bala Singh, and guest Bree Simran Darby (@blindiangirl on ig/@BreeDarby2 on twitter).  Roopa writes, "In this episode we talk truth, SPREAD LOVE THE BK WAY. We get political, intimate, we talk about mothering and daughtering, and our mentors, and lack thereof - we talk love and hate. As all the warring escalates, this conversation reminds me that we are powerful."In this episode, Roopa Bala Singh speaks with Bree Simran Darby - an influencer &amp; agitator with many tools in her millennial tool kit. We recorded this episode on the day Trump left his warlording state visit to Modi in India. This sisterly conversation, recorded on audio and video, was incredibly redemptive that day. Bree is a born and raised Brooklynite, who grew up attending Park Slope schools and is in university at St. Francis College in Brooklyn Heights, NYC. She is a skilled registered nurse in training, senior in university. "Blindian" is a popular term for people who are mixed, Black and Indian/desi ("dhay-see"). There are other terms "dougla," and "colored" that do not roll off the tounge without thick political history. Bree and Roopa Bala speak about race war, and Indian anti-Blackness as also a form of self-hate. They talk coloniality, histories of pitting Black and Brown against one another, and futures of mending this terrible cut amongst our African and Indian lineages and diasporas. Bree is a classically trained Bharatnatyam dancer, YUNG millennial scholar, and social media influencer/agitator. Her recent thread on anti-Blackness addressed to desi peoples including her family has several thousand engagements. Roopa Bala spoke with her about this thread, and more.
