Amma Brown Girl

Satsriakal, my names Amma and I’m a brown girl. 

I’m here to share my wonderful experiences of growing up in a desi household! 

The aim is to create a better platform for brown voices as each episode focuses on topics our society avoids talking about. 

Tune in to hear me challenge societal norms, my insightful awakenings and how my taboo life experiences are shared by many. 

If you want to see my beautiful bootha, I have uploaded the video episodes to YouTube, and I will be doing a few episodes in Punjabi for my desi brothers and sisters. 

Thank you for listening in!
