Award winning podcast* 🥈. Talking about life as a British born Chinese (BBC)/British Asian. The struggles that I've had to deal with whilst growing up in my mum and dad's takeaway in the 1980s/1990s. My parents are immigrants from HK/China and moved to the UK when they were teenagers. I was brought up being Chinese at home and English when I was outside of home - it felt confusing at the time as I couldn't find a sense of belonging. But now I am much older, I am proud of my Chinese heritage and I am proud to be British. I just want to share my story with people.* Silver award at British Podcast Awards 2022 in 'Moment of the Year' category. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. more

From Dirty Talk to the A to Z of Sex Toys, Poppy and Rubina confess all the funny and intimate details of their sex lives.

In this new series of Brown Girls Do It Too, Poppy is experiencing online dating for the first time ever after ending a decade long relationship and Rubina is navigating her relationship with sex after having her first child. They continue to break taboos and ask difficult questions such as 'Has BDSM become passé?' 'Are younger men better in bed?', or 'Is the baby monitor the ultimate mood killer?'. Brown Girls Do it Too is a raucous celebration of sex, love, heartbreak and friendship. more

The name Phulkaari is a silent tribute to our beautiful mothers and their traditions to place honour and value on their daughters. It is time for Sikh Panjabi women and girls to take back control of discussions and strategies that impact our lives and lived experiences. Join us every second Wednesday at 7 pm, no topic of discussion is off the table. 💜🙏🏽 more

How do we avoid tokenised representations of identities and resist further contributing to a view of identity as innate and fixed rather than socially constructed and in flux? How do we complicate the narrative of British Asian women artists? more

The Voice It Out Podcast with Amrita is a platform created by two British Asian women, Shyama and Amrita. In the first season they looked into topics which were relevant to women and, in particular, British Asian women.
