There are multiple facets of our identities that we magnify or tone down depending on who we interact with. As we dug deeper into this topic of Balancing Identities, we realized a lot of this is heavily impacted by our childhoods in Zambia. Despite being Indian kids in Zambia, we both had notably different experiences. Experiences that required us to pick and choose when to be Indian and when to be Zambian. Experiences that shaped our identities and gave us the skills to perform this balancing act.

In this episode, we reflect on our childhoods, showing you a glimpse of what it was like growing up as Indians in Zambia and balancing the two different worlds.
