#7: Brown People Don't...Check Their Privilege (feat. Sheerah Ravindren)

‘I think it’s them wanting to refuse that they are not just oppressed, but that they also play the part of the oppressor…’  

HAPPY SOUTH ASIAN HERITAGE MONTH!  Here’s a special spicy Brown Girls Don't eppy to celebrate, because we like tearing sh*t up like that. 

For our first filmed episode ever, I'm joined by model, Tamil activist and VOGUE COVER GAL Sheerah Ravindren to chat about some of the hardest pills to swallow as PoCs:  

✨How our fellow minorities can uphold white supremacy for their own benefit 

✨The experiences of being a minority within a minority as a dark-skinned Tamil person, and 

✨What we can ALL collectively do to ensure none of us are left behind no matter our palatability in a white-dominated society  

Everything we discuss is SO relevant when you look at the current political climate, with people who share similar backgrounds to us leaving us behind while they chase power. It’s also an evergreen conversation, because you can never check yourself too much.

Fancy seeing us in person? You can also stream the podcast on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kEPtSC_5Gro
