since both of us moved out of our south asian homes on our own, we're always asked questions on how we went about the process. we've given this topic attention twice already but we're always happy to speak on moving out some more since we recognize how much we all think about it. in this episode, we went deeper into the guilt we feel with leaving our parents back at home, how we go about our finances, and the little steps we took along the way to make the process of moving out of our south asian homes a bit easier. we hope you enjoy <3

with over 900k+ followers on social media, shihan chowdhury (@chilipeppercooks) is a bangladeshi cinematographer, home cook, and entrepreneur, and we’re grateful to have him as our second guest on the pod! 

in our 90 minute convo with him, we learned how he went from working at a fast food restaurant at 14 to becoming one of the most prolific figures in our online bangladeshi community, about his work ethic with him being a child of immigrants, and an immigrant himself, his incorporation of bangladeshi culture in his art despite not being surrounded by any people with that background, never being satisfied due to the instilled learnings from our parents, how he’s carried faith and religion throughout his life, what his favorite episode of chefs table is, and most importantly, why the hell he puts thai chili peppers in everything 

shihan’s one of the most inspirational people we’ve come across, and we’re ecstatic for you all to hear this whole convo. one last thank you to shihan, you’re the realest

a lot of people have an identity crisis because they don't know who they are without their parents. south asian families usually teach children to be dependent on them and attach their beings to helping them. in this episode, we talk about some of the reasons on why we're feeling like this, how it's affecting our mental health, and what we're doing to try to get out of it. we hope u enjoy and don't forget to give us a rating and share with your friends!!

in this episode, we talk about our journey towards becoming closer to our Islamic faith and religion. although we're fairly happy with where we are today, and where we see ourselves going, we don't hesitate to speak on the difficulties and frustrations we've had throughout the process. with faith and religion being forced upon us throughout our upbringings, we grew resentment and often rebelled against what we were told were morally correct, and we know this is something so many of you will relate to. talking points include teaching fear over love, tattoos, cultural interpretations, the hypocrisy, and many more. we've put off this topic for a little bit, since it is a pretty sensitive talking point for us, but we're happy we did it, for us, for you, enjoy<3
