Surviving, and Thriving, from Trauma - Suswati Basu
On this episode of When Harry Met Daphne we interviewed Suswati Basu, winner of the Emma Humphries Memorial Prize in 2007, shortlisted for the Guardian Mary Stott Prize the same year, and longlisted for the Guardian International Development Journalism Award. Suswati has written for the Guardian, Huffington Post, and the F-Word blogs, and has worked for various media outlets such as the BBC, Channel 4 News, and ITV News.
As a survivor and thriver from trauma, living with both mental health and physical disabilities, she began the How To Be... podcast looking at helping mental well-being through reading and interviewing authors. Speaking to 36 authors in 2021, including powerhouse women such as powerlifter and journalist Poorna Bell, and the Year of Living Danishly author Helen Russell, Suswati gained huge insight throughout the year and has been developing and creating a like-minded community who discuss these topics on Twitter Spaces and Clubhouse on a weekly basis.
Specialties: Specialties in women in technology, DEI, gender, social model of disability, race, and social politics; British, Chinese and Indian politics, mental health, eating disorders, nonfiction books.
