021: Fighting Colourism and Embracing our True Self with ...

What this episode covers

Have you ever been told, "You're so dark, who will marry you?" OR "Don't go out in the sun, you'll get dark". These are just some of the ways society enforces colourism on us. My guest, Shweta Aggarwal grew up with colourism, being told at the age of six that her parents abandoned her because of her dark skin. She succumbed to the use of fairness creams and is now the voice of anti-colourism. Shweta Aggarwal is an anti-colourism activist and a challenger of outdated South Asian cultural norms.
