Breaking The Silence About Mental Health in South Asian Culture
Mental health issues have frequently been perceived as nonexistent in South Asian communities. We are least likely to seek help due to stigma until the situation reaches a level of crisis. In this episode, we want to create an open dialogue to discuss mental health and how the South Asian community is working to break down cultural barriers around discussing mental health.
This episode has a strong focus on self-love and mental wellbeing whilst focusing on how we can all implement small steps to help us in our daily lives. We want this podcast to offer listeners a safe space to learn about anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges. Sahar and I break down the two types of illnesses, discuss our personal experiences, the joys of therapy, and the little judgmental auntie who lives inside us all. We need to educate ourselves, and all of us need to do our part in dismantling the stigma around mental health in our community and promote practical tips for finding balance and healing.
Sahar and I hope those who are listening to our show today will take this issue deeply and do something in their power to break the stigma. We hope more people will speak openly about what they are experiencing and seek professional help without the fear of judgment or discrimination.

From the River to the Sea: A Humanitarian Plea
You don’t need to be an expert to talk about human rights issues to have an opinion. Sahar and I want to share our common and hopeful faiths are based on the idea that life is precious and that human beings can change. We must never accept what we see in the Holy Land. Israel’s policy of constructing and expanding illegal settlements on occupied Palestinian land is one of the main driving forces behind the mass human rights violations resulting from the occupation. This is a humanitarian issue right now and needs to be addressed at all levels.
If you want to take action + support Palestinians during this time, here are a few things you can do.

Identity Through the Lens of Culture
In this episode of Deen, Duniya, & Everything in Between, join us in our discussion about the idea of identity and the loss of it when you are a child of immigrant parents or you are a 1st generation immigrant yourself. We’ll discuss the experience of growing up multicultural, the idea of “whitewashing”, and struggling to find belonging. Let's facilitate a wider dialogue and the representation that we wished had been available to us both in growing up and in adulthood.
