Unsilent Women
Welcome to the Unsilent Women podcast!
Join hosts Poorva Misra-Miller and Nashina Merani Miranda on a courageous and heartfelt journey through the multifaceted world of gender, race, heritage, and feminism.
As proud brown women navigating predominantly white spaces, they forge paths and break barriers. Their conversations encompass everything from the ancient art of tattooing as a means of self-expression to how food shapes our culture and collective identity, from ancestral trauma's haunting echoes to the relentless drumbeat of late-stage capitalism and hustle culture.
With a blend of robust research and empathy, fueled by strong coffee and unbreakable bonds, Poorva and Nashina create a rich tapestry of thought-provoking dialogue. They aim to discuss, heal, educate, and connect.
Unsilent Women is a platform to build bridges, spark inspiration, and foster a global sisterhood among women of color everywhere.
Tune in, and be part of a conversation that transcends labels and builds understanding.

Don't be you, be perfect, with Elizabeth Su
In this episode Poorva talks about perfectionism in the workplace with writer and self-care guru Elizabeth Su. They explore the many ways in which women and BIPOC women in particular conform, repress and pretzel themselves to fit into spaces that weren't designed for them. They examine racial trauma, inherited trauma and the culture of assimilation and overworking that is upheld as the standard in corporate culture. They also talk about the trauma and burnout that occurs from years of not being able to be your authentic self.
