The Multicultural Millennial Womxn

In this episode, Parthvi and Anya are banning chai and milo because you’ll probably need something a little bit stronger to get through this one. Get ready for a different kind of storytime from fellow millennials, who will be sharing anecdotes of prejudice they've experienced based on their appearance. These stories will make you feel the pain, discomfort, and frustration that these individuals had to go through, and most of which still face when they recount their experiences. Stories that range from subtle microaggressions to offensive racial slurs. Want to hear more? Grab your drink of choice and tune in to the last episode of the Multicultural Millennial Woman podcast’s very first season. If you're an immigrant or a person of color, you probably have a story too. Share your story on Instagram and tag @themmwpodcast and #mymmwstory.

Resources

Join Parthvi and Anya as they compare their childhoods to the depiction of American families on television. They discuss the similarities and differences of their childhoods growing up in the US (Parthvi) and Trinidad (Anya). Even though their parents don't know each other, they are kindred spirits in terms of their parenting strategies, from choosing friends for them to forbidding sleep overs. Anya and Parthvi acknowledge the parallels of their childhoods, and recognize that there must be more where that came from. Over the course of their friendship, they had learned that their mothers have even more in common, which inspired a fun game called, "Does Your Mother Do That Too?!" Parthvi and Anya end the episode by explaining the rules and playing one round of the game.

On this podcast, Parthvi Shah, a first-gen Indian immigrant and Anya Cherrice, a black immigrant from Trinidad talk about everything that affects the Multicultural Millennial Woman. 

On paper, we technically sound the same: two women of color, but in real-life, we are so different. We have different experiences, come from different backgrounds and have different personalities. 

Want a glimpse into what we'll be talking about? Think people choosing not to pronounce our name correctly in the work-place to similarities in how our parents raised us to how colorism shows up in both our communities.

Join us as we talk through issues from our perspectives of navigating America aka what we call spilling some good ole American tea.
