How do we encourage our children to honour their culture in the modern-day landscape? How do we help them normalize their duality living in the states? These are questions Seema and Dinesh explore in this episode with Anu Sehgal, children’s author and the Founder of the largest cultural literacy and language education company for kids that focuses on South Asia. They have a conversation around the importance of this work, and the ramifications of not doing the work. She shares how to effectively encourage and foster children’s positive self worth and normalize their heritage, culture, and duality. Anu is sharing the criticisms she’s faced in this work and the incredible successes she’s had along the way.
