Growing up in India, we experienced colorism on an everyday basis. In this episode we explore the roots of colorism and how it came about to becoming such a deep-rooted issue that has been unfortunately passed down from many generations. We also look to the beauty industry that has played a huge part in further solidifying this love-hate relationship with our skin tone.
The 2020 global pandemic brought everything we knew as a normal life to a screeching halt. Looking back, the biggest positive that came out of it was, time. Time with ourselves, our families and time to just stop and really question if we are living our life with true purpose and meaning. We reflect on what has happened and what practices we're taking forward with us into our post pandemic life.
