In this Episode of The Junior Doctor Series: The Unspoken Truth,

the host - Koushi shares one of the most vulnerable episodes she has ever recorded.

In it, she opens up about her real experiences with both passive and active racism—from subtle assumptions about where she is "really" from to the blatant comments that cut deep.

She share what it feels like to be constantly asked "Are you from India?" or told to "go back to Bangladesh." To have her accent questioned during an assessment. To laugh off racist comments just to fit in, even when it hurts. All of this—because of the colour of her skin.

The countless small moments in between that reveal how racism is still ingrained in society and the culture of medicine.

But this episode isn't about blame. It's about awareness, change, and inclusivity. It is about recognising how far we still have to go, and celebrating the workplaces that are doing it right.

Toward the end, her voice cracks a little—and that's okay. Because speaking truth can be emotional. It can be raw. But that's exactly where healing begins.

If you've ever felt unseen, unheard, or misjudged because of who you are—this episode is for you.

💬 "Change begins with awareness. Awareness begins with courage."
