its true its true we went all the way out to toronto, canada to speak with the one and only dameer khan! dameer is musician, global dj, and all around artist, but at the core is someone who so passionately represents bangladesh, its people, its culture, and is on a golden path to sharing it all with the world

in this episode, we let dameer have the floor and tell us about the reality of life in bangladesh, its political situation, and all of the things our people have to speak up about, but also telling us about all the beautiful things our people and culture have attached to them. we talk modernizing bangla music, building real infrastructure, the underground rave culture in bangladesh, and all in all this is dameer's attempt at finding a wife for his US visa tbh

this one's very special and we wholeheartedly hope you enjoy :)

we are in the engaged era and in the initial stages of wedding planning and OOF - we are stressed. in this very vulnerable tell ALL episode, we are talking about the behind the scenes of wedding planning. no one tells you about the financial stressors, societal and familial pressures and expectations on what it's supposed to look like, who NOT to invite and if we even have a say over that, and so much more when it comes to these very glamorized wedding events. buckle in because this is a good one!

we've all grown up with toxic cultural traditions and mindsets that just are NOT IT. whether it's parents placing earlier curfews on daughters vs. their sons, being told to not go out in the sun because you'll get dark, or even just talking over one another. in this episode, we are going to talk about some of the harmful mindsets that we have unlearned and that we will not be passing onto the next generation. you all had a lot to say in this one so hope u enjoy!!!
