The Psychological Impacts of Misrepresentation

In this episode, we discuss the psychological impacts of stereotypes and lacking representation in the media. Sharing our own experiences, we look at how the current state of South Asian representation has affected our own self-esteem and beliefs about our culture. By exposing the deep negative impacts these "harmless" microaggressions have, we highlight how this extends to culture appropriation and the frustrations many minorities have with others taking part in certain aspects of our cultures.
