Uff - I did a video around a topic that comes up in my conversations with women - being childless by choice and there seemed to be a lot of Muslim folk who felt a type of way about it.

I was quite shocked by the reactions from women in particular which made me wonder why it caused such a heated reaction from them.....projection?

Brown women have long been harmed by therapeutic spaces that don’t understand their cultural and religious realities.

My work centres those voices. That’s not discrimination, it’s creating safety and care for a marginalised group.

1. Let's stop romanticising endurance and start prioritising emotional and psychological safety. In my work I challenge the idea that strength = silence.
2. Let's normalise choice without shame. I help women move from absorbed messages to intentional living.
3. We stop treating family as more important than a woman’s mental health. In my work we address enmeshment, obligation, emotional labour and in-law dynamics openly.
4. We get braver in naming what’s harmful. I help you bring language where silence has lived.
5. We stop teaching women that respect is hierarchical or gendered and start treating it as reciprocal. I challenge culturally protected power dynamics without shaming culture itself.
6. We stop treating over-explaining as a communication problem and recognise it as a guilt response shaped by years of being taught to put others first. I help women move from permission-seeking to self-trust.

I think I'd advertise this group as:

People of Colour Who Self-Loathe

Objectives include: unpacking internalised racism, detaching from white validation and learning to love yourself again.

Limited spaces. Deep work required.

Got any other ideas for what we could call this group therapy 😂

Airing some thoughts on the Brooklyn/Beckham drama and it giving desi vibes

Do you think we need more of this in our brown worlds where distance can be healthy for a couple and their wellbeing?

Sometimes it can feel like you’re expected to be grateful simply because a man has shown interest - as if that alone should be the basis for wanting to enter into a marriage.

For many parents, the idea of connection, emotional safety or compatibility can feel unfamiliar when they were taught that love grows after marriage.

Being caught in two worlds is so tricky but choosing what feels right for you takes courage.

💛 Follow along if you’re navigating culture, relationships and healing......and want to feel less alone.

From reporting DV after 10+ years to discovering my main character energy, this year gave me my own teaching moments ✨ Healing can be theatrical, messy, empowering, takes courage… and is so worth it.

What’s one thing you did this year that surprised you? 👇
