Bringing The Masala

As a first generation Canadian and second generation Indian, I have always been searching for a safe place to navigate the diversity in my identity and where I stand. Whether it's hard hitting topics like religion, or day-to-day conundrums people face as parents, professionals, or millennials, I would like to provide a unique Desi lens and start an open dialogue. I'm excited to share stories from Reddit, and results of my research on various topics. And of course, my \"Masala Take\".
