1.7 Colour, Caste, and Colonists: Our Obsession with Fairness

If you’re brown, you probably have been told to stay out of the sun at one point or another for fear of your skin getting darker. This episode we tackle where the colourism in our communities comes from, share stories from different women about their personal experiences, and try to shed light on a topic that is too often dismissed. Thank you to the friends that generously shared their stories for this episode.  Discussed article: How protests led to a critique of Bollywood's colorism and a reckoning for South Asians (Sakshi Venkatraman, NBC, 2020)
