S2 Ep#07: Sheba Siddiqui - A radio journalist on diversity in newsrooms, pandemic parenting and restarting her career

Sheba Siddiqui is a woman with many roles. A journalist, Global News Radio producer, columnist,  host, and most importantly - a mom of four. She is also a great conversationalist. Being a second generation Canadian helps her look at the two cultures that define her - with some level of neutrality. Listen to our latest episode as we discuss: The culture of stigma in South Asian communities (i.e. “Log Kya Kahenge?”) The need for change in mental health conversations in immigrant families (“Stop being so ‘Bollywood!”) The emotional roller coaster mothers face when restarting their careers The key to keeping sanity with ‘Pandemic Parenting’ and Her take on being the only person of color in the newsroom even in 2021 Also look out for a special mention of Season 1 guest Amira Elghawaby and the connection they share!
