Cultural Issues of Suppression & Oppression and the Shame Associated with Disability & Mental health

Hello listeners and welcome back to the victim to victor podcast, my name is Anu and I am your host. In this podcast episode I have Maya Joshi on my show. Maya has an extraordinary story of victory. Born and raised in Leicester, England, her mother left her and her 3 sisters at a very young age for another man and her father was left to raise them. Maya struggled from rejection which led to further turmoil of being labelled and she speaks up about what life has been like being raised in a broken family in the Indian community.She opens up about the caste system and how this creates separation and also how being disabled or suffering from mental health issues is not spoken openly about and are still taboo topics within the Asian Community. This episode hits home on the common issues that arise culturally due to the inability to communicate and to open up about topics which are classed as shameful and so ignored to avoid hindrance on reputation within the community. So what needs to change? Acceptance. Acceptance of mental health issues and disability and more acknowledgement of the truth and to lead with the heart rather than with the head. Only we ourselves can be the change.
