Vineeta Parupudi, host of the Rowdy Rani podcast, joins me in discussing the long-term effects of linguistic discourse between first-generation Indian Americans and individuals of previous generations. We share our personal experiences with unhealthy verbal and nonverbal language, limiting rhetoric and narratives, and brainstorm potential reframes that allow for progression. At the end of the day, we must demand better from both former and upcoming generations in regards to open and fair communication in order to cultivate more meaningful relationships.
