how a bollywood choreographer is fighting colorism


Listen Later

This week, I'm honored to share the story of Shweta Aggarwal, a British Indian author who is currently writing her memoir “The Black Rose”.  As a six year old child living in India away from her parents, she developed a love for Bollywood films.  Her dreams of dancing in these films were cut short when she was shamed by an aunt for the darker color of her skin.  Shweta shares her first hand experiences with colorism and white supremacy and generously answers questions to help me better understand her experiences.
