PRIDE in Myself

What does it mean to feel proud when the world taught you to hide? In this episode of Chai Me A River, we explore queer self-acceptance, internalized shame, and the slow, radical act of building pride from the inside out. From the quiet victories to the loud celebrations, host Shane unpacks the journey of being brown and proud, navigating identity, and practicing pride as resistance, not just during Pride Month, but every day after.Whether you're still coming into your queerness, unlearning generational silence, or reclaiming joy on your own terms, this one’s for you.💬 Topics: LGBTQ+ pride, queer mental health, South Asian identity, coming out, self-love, radical rest, internalized homophobia.Follow me on social media below:Instagram: @shanelamba21TikTok: @punjabipapii21 & @chai.me.a.river
