Hosted by sibling duo Ashneil and Angelene, this Indo-Fijian podcast delves into our personal experiences growing up in a predominantly white Canadian town. Together, we shed light on the often-overlooked history of girmit – the British indentured labour system in Fiji – while offering insights into the Indo-Fijian diaspora and the broader cultural impact of this legacy.

36. Indo-Fijian Allyship to the Black community

It’s Black History Month and we need to talk about it. We need to talk about how the ten highest earning TikTokers do not consist of a single Black creator. We need to call in governmental organizations at all levels to not only acknowledge BHM but to also be transparent about what they’re doing to commit to recognizing their participation in the inequities Black people face, and also what they’re actively doing to combat and change it. In the 1870s, John Sullivan Deas was a prominent Black business owner in Ladner, BC. We feel this canning pioneer doesn’t get the clout he deserves. From our own experience and lens as Indo-Fijians who live in a culturally diverse region of Canada, we want to provide some leadership on how we can be better allies to the Black community. We get it, this can be hard. Especially for anyone new to the cause or doesn't look like us. But that's OK! We're here to help!
