EP.85 - Neha - Ninja Nari - "I Am Meant To Empower, Share Stories Of Other Women"

Today we are thrilled to welcome Neha, the founder of Ninja Nari, a platform dedicated to celebrating South-Asian roots and empowering women. This conversation came at a pivotal time for me, as Neha and I explore the complexities of navigating multiple identities and the responsibilities of discussing race. We also discuss the work upon us as POC to learn how to speak up in these situations and manage what is not ours to hold.Neha opens up about:The challenges and joys of cultural fusionLearning the language behind toxic masculinityMental health in the South-Asian communityBalancing mom life with her missionNavigating racialized experiences and speaking up.Sometimes, we think we have to know everything about a topic to discuss it meaningfully. However, the important thing is that we remain curious and open to learning about where issues like toxic masculinity come from.Join us for an inspiring and deeply personal conversation filled with Neha's wisdom and uplifting quotes like, "To grow we have to uplift each other," "Say no to self-doubt," "If you’re making round rotis, let me know, that’s a superpower," and "If she grows, then I grow."
