When’s the right time to tell our parents that we don’t want to follow in their footsteps? IS there a right time, or right age to reveal yourself - the version of you that feels most authentic and true, yet doesn’t match your parents’ and environment’s expectations? And not to mention, is it worth facing the “what will people say?” notion? Agnibarna & Maira are joined by software engineering student, Mehrin Rahman, who although is enjoying her degree, envisions herself as a tattoo artist more than anything else. The catch: tattoos are a big taboo in her Bangladeshi community, opposing both their religious and cultural values. After years of keeping her passion hidden, Mehrin finally feels like she is in a good place with herself to express her goals publicly.
