Nastassia Jagatsingh & I debunk some myths about Canada and Mauritius. As two Mauritian Canadians of different ethnic backgrounds, we grapple with our place in these conversations as privileged expats as we unpack what white supremacy looks like in Mauritius, how the Indian caste system still rules Mauritius, and why the Canadian dream isn’t as rosy as it’s made out to be. I do call in my own Sino-Mauritian people in this episode and I hope they will receive my call with grace. We also talk about dealing with chronic illness and having to set boundaries in order to protect your sovereignty over your own body.

If you want to know how art can change people's lives, you will love this episode with June Chua. Dance gave her self love. Drama gave her self awareness. Her films moved audiences from Norway to Nepal. Art is powerful.

We are the product of our environment. Overcoming intergenerational trauma starts with being able to trace our behavioral patterns to the circumstances we grew up in, acknowledge our unmet needs without blaming our parents, and understand how their trauma showed up in daily life.

When we recognize the harmful thought patterns that magnify judgment & shame, we can shift them to more self-compassionate narratives that allow us to heal while still holding ourselves accountable.

Being able to name it, and recognize that we need to heal, is a huge first step.

Who else went to therapy and was told to "go no contact" or something similarly impossible to do? In Asian culture, our family is a big part of who we are, and setting rigid boundaries is a LOT more dramatic and significant. It can be perceived as total rejection, ungratefulness, shaming, withholding resources. The repercussions can sometimes be worse than the initial problem. Instead of this rigid type of boundary setting, sometimes we need to find alternative ways to communicate our needs that don't feel as draconian.

Did you know that more bombs were dropped on Laos that on Germany & Japan combined? Laos is the most bombed country per capita (courtesy of the U.S.). In addition to Vietnam, Laos and Cambodia were also heavily bombed by the U.S. in an attempt to disrupt communist supply lines to Vietnam. These bombings, unlike those on Vietnam, were carried out in secret by the CIA. The American public did not know about them until much later. has created a virtual library documenting the stories of the people affected by the secret war, which is still unknown to most Americans.

Ever seen a guy with a turban get stopped for "random" screening at the airport and raised an eyebrow? Yup, we all have. But SALDEF training is helping raise awareness and make sure screenings, when needed, are done respectfully.

overnight, the Sikh community became the target of so many hate crimes because of an incorrect assumption that their turbans meant they're associated with Bin Laden. That's all it took.

Host:

This week, executive director Kiran Kaur Gill shares how since 9/11, Sikh Americans became feared and presumed terrorists overnight because they happen to wear turbans that reminded Americans of Bin Laden.

The Sikh American Legal Defense & Education Fund (SALDEF) has since been countering hate and ignorance with education programs nationwide, training over 135,000 officers nationwide, from local & federal agencies including TSA, FBI and police departments.

We also talk about the importance of culturally appropriate mental health support for communities dealing with grief from racial/religious violence, and how important it is to step away sometimes and keep in mind that advocacy work can take time. A lot of it.

Canada is often praised as a haven for immigrants from all backgrounds to thrive. What they don't tell you is that for many, moving to Canada means leaving their profession and their high paying jobs to start from the bottom.
