Episode description

Representation has never been more important, and some are blessed with creating it in an eloquent, artistic and inimitable style. In this wonderful episode, Jaspreet Kaur (Award Winning Poet, Writer and Teacher) illuminates various parts of her forthcoming book.

Jaspreet discusses the significance of naming her book "Brown Girl Like Me"; the importance of not shying away from mental health issues; the challenges - and benefits - of writing during a pandemic; and breaking down the systematic shame attached to periods.
