Listen Later

Welcome to Brown People Problems, where your host, Nikita Sehgal, along with her guests chat about what it means to navigate life while being Brown! In this episode I'm going into detail about 5 personality characteristics that have been most found to be linked with chronic illnesses, and how these personality features are prevalent in the larger Brown cultures 💭. Join me for a conversation on people pleasing, self sacrifice, and how these create chaos in the body.
