We are two young Malaysian women, living our best life, trying to think critically, have more constructive conversations, and encourage discourse. We are here because we are everything we want to be, nothing you want us to be and so much more. Here to navigate through our experiences being young women of colour talking about relationships, sexuality, lifestyle, pop culture, and whatever the hell we want!

Identity, Finding Community & Definining Masculinity with Naavikaran

*Trigger warning for Queerphobia & Suicide* Wow, wow, wow!! what a conversation we had with Naavi. Shaya and Lama chat to Naavikaran about their experience moving to Australia from India about 5 years ago and the struggle to find community. We discuss the intersections of being a multi-gender trans woman and finding comfort and joy in being alive in this moment. We talk through the stories behind Naavi's latest track 'Closet'. Shaya asks Naavikaran whether masculinity in itself is the problem with our world and if there even is a different way we can define masculinity & femininity for ourselves. Lama also gets to ask our guest questions from OUR AUDIENCE!!! The questions cover finding a sense of belonging as a queer immigrant in Australia, relationships, and whether coming out to South Asian families can be different from our white counterparts. Enjoy!

Naavikaran who is an all-around goddess in the form of a multi-gender trans woman, badass entrepreneur, community educator, organiser, writer, and choreographer from India, based in Meanjin (Brisbane).
