    The South Asian Sexual **and Mental** Health Alliance, or SASMHA, is a collective of youth organizers who seek to create a safe space for youth ages 13-30 of the South Asian diaspora. Our goal is to educate, empower, and find strength as a community to discuss our unique experiences as Asian-American young adults, fighting stigma and increasing access to resources, peers, information, etc. on the topics of identity development, sexual health, reproductive health, mental health, consent, healthy relationships, and other key issues.
    1 hr 8 min
  • Ep. 2 // Aziz and Abuse

    CW: Sexual abuse

    Sriya, Sree, and Trinish discuss, *sigh*, Aziz Ansari (yeah...we recorded this a while ago). What are power dynamics and how were they abused in this situation? We also talk about our experiences with the stigma around abuse.

  • Ep. 1 // Welcome to the Brown Taboo Project

    CW: Sexual abuse, abortion

    Brown people -- let's talk about sex and mental health, baby! After ~2 years of trying to figure out how to make discussions around sexual and mental health issues accessible to our South Asian community, we had an idea: PODCAST! South Asian Sexual Health Alliance (SASHA) co-founders Sree Sinha, Tania Chatterjee, Trinish Chatterjee and Sriya Sarkar chat about what taboo problems they're dealing with in their very brown lives.
