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.

It's not just their problem, it's ours too — learning who we are from pandemics, with Kari Nixon
In this episode Poorva talks to Kari Nixon, a medical humanist, author and assistant professor at Whitworth University about how pandemics shape us and our culture. They talk about the cognitive dissonance in accepting the threat of the pandemics and how we cling to the very idea that diseases originate and play out somewhere else. They also examine how Covid-9 will inform our culture and future in the coming decades.
