Unsilent Women
A Journey Into the “Label-less” Self
Welcome back to the second season of Unsilent Women! This season, host Poorva returns with a fabulous new co-host Nashina Merani Miranda, to have an impactful conversation on a topic that resonates deeply with women of color around the globe.
Our inaugural episode dives into the complex issue of labels and reclaiming identity.
In this episode, we explore how labels, often thrust upon us by society or self-imposed, can influence the perception of women, especially women of color. These labels are based on how we present ourselves to the world, and they can profoundly impact our lives. Whether it's stereotypes related to race, culture, or personal style, we dissect how these labels can limit us and how they often fail to acknowledge the complexities of our identities.
But it's not just about the labels others place on us. We also take a hard look at the labels we attach to ourselves. How have they shifted and evolved throughout our lives? How can we break free from harmful or limiting labels and redefine our identities on our terms? We delve into the psychological implications of these labels and share empowering strategies to rise above them.
We bring personal stories and healing discussions that empower our listeners to transcend these labels.
This episode invites all women of color to reevaluate the power of labels and their impact on our self-identity and embrace the limitless potential beyond these labels.
Join us for a powerful discussion that's not just about confronting these labels but also about celebrating the resilience, strength, and diverse identities of women of color. Together, we will navigate through these complex issues, facilitating healing conversations and fostering a more inclusive and understanding society.
So, please tune in to Unsilent Women as we journey into the realm of labels, breaking stereotypes, and living beyond them. This is a conversation you wouldn't want to miss.
