This conversation really shifted something in me and I hope it will do the same for you. In this episode I sit down with Melline Jaini aka Mel, General Manager of UNIKLEARN, a program under An-Nur Harapan, and what I walked away with was a new understanding not just of autism, but of our own deeply ingrained instinct to overprotect. We often see individuals on the spectrum or persons with disabili...

A year ago today, I released my first ever solo episode titled 'let me introduce my introverted self' and how ironic is it that in this episode I talked to random strangers around bandar.

We barely scratched the surface with all the plans we ha...
