Being a Brown Girl: What We Love, Hate and the Women Who Inspire Us ft. Rhea Somaiya | IWD2026

Being a brown girl (or South Asian girl) means celebrating how far we’ve come but also feeling like there is still so much left to achieve. With International Women’s day coming up, I sat down with Rhea Somaiya, the host of a South Asian Feminist podcast called Unapologetic by Silver Jay to have a honest girl talk of what it means to be a modern day Asian girl living in the UK or the global west. We talk about being the first generation with financial freedom, the pressure to succeed, the history of women’s rights and lack of funding when it comes to women’s health research.
