Everyone thinks anxiety is a bad thing. If you really want to cure your anxiety then you need to get one thing straight. Anxiety is not a bad thing. it is not something to run away from. anxiety is to the mind what pain is to the body. anxiety exists for the purposes of showing us that something is happening within our minds. It asks not for our condemnation but for our attention to heal deep parts of ourselves. Stop seeing it is as a bad omen and rather a tool, a mirror, an opportunity to improve yourself.

Hansini Gamatchi is a Sri Lankan Australian Dancer, Actress and Singer Songwriter. Through her own actions - pursuing her dreams and breaking the traidtional south asian moulds, she hopes to encourage and foster Creativity within the Brown Community, proving that you can very well be a successful Brown Girl in The Arts Industry. Hansini and I have very similar stories when it comes to the ridiculous backlash we both received choosing to pursue careers in The Arts and follow our dreams. Together we spill the beans on this term I invented called 'Intra-cultual discrimination', which is a very real thing in Brown Culture. Follow Hansini on Instagram: @hansinigamatchi More Brown Paint?

Today we have a guest speaker who wanted to share his personal story and thus opted to come onto the podcast anonymously. 'G' opens up about everything from his experience dropping out of a mundane career in finance to pursue artistic endeavours, to south asian cultural pressures to be a "man", to his struggles with self image and colorism which lead him to photoshopping his skin lighter, and the damaging role of extreme modern day feminism in South Asian Culture. Together we explore these topics through the lens of a Brown Man, a perspective which is not often considered amongst the wider discussion of cultural and social issues. ***I respectfully believe that extremist, close minded feminism is the exact reason why men like 'G' do not feel safe enough to come forward publicly and share their personal stories, so with that being said I urge you to employ open mindedness towards this different perspective and sympathy towards another human's genuine traumas. Therefore negative comments like "he's a man so he cannot speak on this issue" or "hiding behind anonymity to get away with misogyny" etc will NOT be tolerated and will be immediately deleted. Furthermore, if you do not agree with the discussions we promote here on Brown Paint, then we respectfully urge you to voice those disagreements POLITELY or simply not engage or participate on the platform at all. Brown Paint is a space for thought provoking and open minded discussion. As a part of our value system Brown Paint does not pander to political correctness, and believes that being triggered is a pivotal space for growth, so do not waste your time trying to police important discussion as it will be removed under our rights to do so on OUR own platform. *** More Brown Paint?

Isn't it ridiculous how increasingly common it is becoming nowadays to loose friends and family over differing opinions? We talk a lot about Divserity on this Podcast so I think it is high time we address Diversity Of Opinion and the gravity of that upon overall Diversity. In this Solocast I riff about all things ecochambers, belief systems, idealogues and limited mindsets. Together we explore what it means to be truly open minded and in turn help wider communities across the world come into a space of GENUINE mutual respect and understanding. More Brown Paint?

Simi Pannu is an Integrative and Functional Medicine Health Practitioner, Trauma Scholar and Toronto based Yoga Instructor. We talk about the cultural trauma of cultural appropriation including within the current Yoga industry and tackle some hypothetical solutions to this issue from multiple lenses. What can WE as South Asian people do to protect and preserve our culture? And SHOULD WE protect our culture against the inevitable spread of global multiculturalism? Where is the line between traditionalism and a little bit of healthy cross cultural contamination?
