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. In the second season, they attempted to prompt discussions around the split identity, and what it means to be British with a strong influence from ethnic heritage - no matter your gender. Season 3 saw Amrita going solo in front of the camera, talking to guests from different walks of life about their journeys, their mental health and also that all important influence of being part British and part of another culture. Now, scrapping the seasonal format, Amrita will continue these conversations as and when guests come on the podcast, allowing more conversations about experience, life-changing moments, and personal narratives that everone can relate to. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. more

From sexual awakening to self-worth, from boardroom success to bedroom pleasure, Burqah & Bikini is a revolution. The first podcast on sex by a Pakistani woman, we challenge South Asian, Muslim, and patriarchal norms that have long confined women to rigid roles. Liberation is not a privilege, it's a practice. We dive deep into pleasure, desire, self-regulation, and radical self-acceptance. We explore everything women must do, achieve, and undo to become healthy, pleasured, fully functioning sexual beings. And we are NOT afraid to offend. We refuse to whisper about what matters—self-pleasure, agency, ambition, money, and breaking generational cycles. We want to normalize that women can choose: their desires, their paths, their identities, and how they live unapologetically. Hosted by Koko, this is a fearless, provocative, and one-of-a-kind space for women who refuse to be controlled by culture or shame. Burqah & Bikini doesn't ask for permission. We don't whisper. We roar. more

Brown women work so hard and invest decades to do all the right things. Despite following the perfect checklist to do everything the way she should, she's still not happy. I have been down that path of doctor, wife, daughter and mother- and totally get it! I am a certified life and parent coach after a career change from an exhausted, overwhelmed, unfulfilled four decades. In this podcast we discuss how South Asian women look happy on the outside but are suffering on the inside. These women feel ashamed to admit it because they think they should just be grateful. I bring forward topics that exist but have been brushed underneath the rug for centuries. Some of the topics include the over-involvement of our families in our personal lives and the constant habit of doubt ourselves before making decisions to avoid making a mistake. It's time to change the trajectory of your life now and generations to come with the coaching tools I share and teach.I coach South Asian women in my private coaching program and currently accepting new clients.

Her Kajal Won't Smudge is a podcast about South Asian women who are pushing back on desi social norms through art, content, dance, music, film, and more. We ask every guest: What does feminism mean to you? In South Asian spaces, the word 'feminist' is still linked to promiscuity, selfishness or a rejection of family values. We want to unpack that. Our guests remind us that feminism isn't one thing. It's a way to be your fuller self, have voice, choice, and power in a culture obsessed with 'what will people say?' Social norms aren't fixed. We create them, which means we can rewrite them too. more

I am an Indian American entrepreneur, author & executive at a Fortune 100 company who was inspired to launch this series to showcase inspiring, real life stories & narratives from the South Asian Diaspora &  provide much needed hope & encouragement to a global audience.  I genuinely believe in the concept that life is a classroom and planet earth is a school whereby we are all students. As students of life each of us are given a variety of opportunities to learn key lessons every single day.  It my experience that the same lessons are often repeated over and over until we master what we need to learn.  As a young girl born in Columbus Ohio to parents who immigrated to the US from India in the early 1960's, I never felt fully comfortable in my own skin. I didn't feel at ease with who I was, who I wanted to be or what my unique gifts were to offer this great, big wide world.   My childhood in the heart of America's Midwest was a kaleidoscope of color, sound & culture as my parents tried to ensure that my siblings and I adhered to some of the cultural and religious traditions of India while encouraging us to fully immerse ourselves in all that was America.  Growing up in an Indian American household steeped in the mores and traditions of South Asian culture while trying to be the personification of America's melting pot was beautiful, painful, isolating and sometimes exhausting.   I realize now that I am not alone in feeling this way.  Launching A Desi Woman is a catalyst for me to find my own voice and feel comfortable enough to use it.  I've come to the realization that I am still a work in progress and that is ok! I have also realized that we are in this classroom of life together and many of our lessons are universal.    The voices I am seeking to join me on this series may be voices and names you have never heard before but their inspiring stories & narratives deserve to be told. Thank you for joining me on this journey of self-discovery and growth—you are always welcome here! more
