Welcome to Sambandha/Connections. Sambandha is the Sanskirt word for 'connection' and we are excited to present this podcast featuring the stories created together by Ryde women, with a focus on the South Asian community. The podcasts are a crystallisation of our internal and external voices, often indistinguishable as one voice.

We acknowledge the land of the Wallumedegal people, the traditional owners of the Country upon which this work was created, and pay our respects to their Elders, past and present. We thank City of Ryde Council for their support for this program.
