About this listen
“A Bengali woman does not shrink.
She burns. She blooms. She becomes.”
In the third episode of ‘This Stays Between Us’, I challenge the negative expectations placed on a Bengali woman and teach you that she does not have to shrink to please others.
For the girl who had to walk on eggshells around the elders.
For the girl who was made to feel less than her brothers.
For the girl who was undermined by her mother and consequently by others around her.
For the girl who is afraid of love, because she was taught that unless she fits the narrow standard of Bengali beauty, she won’t be loved.
Down with the cultural trauma.
Down with it all.
Let’s begin this revolution with bismillah.
