Amma Brown Girl

WHAT DO YOU MEAN S2 IS COMPLETE? 😨   I started the series on a rooftop in Vietnam with no idea on how to edit on premiere pro or use wireless mike. We went from blocking my mother, to now being besties, season 2 was heavily based on the roller-coaster relationship I’ve had with my parents.    From young I always thought I’d be ostracised, so having them in my life came as a pl...

Recently my sister had a big fat desi wedding, and it had me thinking about what I want when I get married.

Today’s episode was close to my heart. I recently read my first ever fiction book called baby does a runner, by Anita Rani and it really stuck with me. The book covered the partition of India and Pakistan in 1947 which was one of the greatest mass migrations in history where the horrific effects are felt even today.  It’s no surprise that history repeats itself and the violence taking place a...

GURRRLLLL WE AT EP 20 WHATTTTTTT??? Something about reaching EP 20 feels like a milestone, maybe It’s the relatability of being in my mid 20’s and crashing out on the weekly, or maybe because I know the end of season 2 is fast approaching.  On that note, speaking up in difficult conversations is an episode I must cover, it’s only right when I’ve got tons of experience with it. Does that mean...

Been home with my parents for the last 2 weeks since my wisdom teeth removal and wow, it’s been a journey. After nearly 7 years of living solo, I’m so used to my independence and my space.

It’s complicated, but also a remind...
