Join me, and mental health counselor Verdah Kazi, as we talk about the stigma, shame, guilt and trauma associated with being LGBTQ/Queer in the South Asian/Muslim communities today and how to get help break through these barriers. We also talk about generational trauma from colonization and how it continues to impact us today!
