Publishing a book is no joke - especially one that seeks to tell the stories of South Asian women across the world in all different phases of life - young, old, married, single, divorced, taking care of their mothers or mother-in-laws, maintaining friendships or struggling with the loss of them. Untold did what few other books have been able to do before - collect a series of varied experiences and bring them together to representatively try to present a point of view on the experience of growing up South Asian. In this episode, Shabnum sits down with Trisha Sakhuja-Walia, the founder of Brown Girl Magazine, and editors of Untold Kamini Ramdeen-Chowdhury and Gabrielle Deonath. The group talks about the motivations of starting a book, how and why BGM was started, and the lessons they learned in publishing this anthology.

In this episode, I sit down with the CEO of Brown Girl Mag Trisha Sakhuja- Walia to talk about the Indian Expectation on Comparison. Whilst we all know we shouldn't compare ourselves to others, most of us find ourselves falling into the terrible trap of comparison. Trishna and I discuss why we need to stop comparing ourselves to others, the importance of failure and the difference between self love and arrogance. While comparison can be damaging, once reframed it can be a valuable source of motivation and growth.
