Renewed Alaap: Effects of Grooming South Asian Women into Becoming Good Wives

In this month's ALAAP episode, we have a special BMHM guest, Syeda, our compliance consultant! The moderators, Fairoz, Naziat and Tasnova, along with Syeda discuss their individual stories of the importance of becoming a good wife through grooming. From the pressures of needing to know how to make the roundest shaped roti, the best tasting cha, to looking a certain way for a future male suitor. We share what helped us/can help us create boundaries with parents in explaining that being a good wife should not be our identity or priority; it should not be required - it is a choice. We are allowed our autonomy to do what we wish, we desire, etc.  Resources: IG Account: @southasiantherapists - South Asian Mental Health topic/title of post: "the effect of grooming south asian girls to be 'good house wives' growing up" https://www.instagram.com/p/CeW4tRVqo_n/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Please be sure to stay updated on the BMHM's IG (@bengalimentalhealthmvmnt) in order to catch the next topic and add in your own questions and comments, that may end up in an upcoming episode!
