Welcome to the first episode of the sunflw_rs podcast! We are starting it off with an episode on the understated importance of authentic representation. Ever since I moved to Australia I have noticed the lack of representation of the South Asian community in the media. It is only recently that we have had more talent from the community being acknowledged. But is this really the authentic representation we yearned for?

Listen as I share my personal experiences and insights, highlighting the significance of seeing oneself reflected on screen or in print. Let’s explore the profound impact that positive representation can have on individual self-esteem, cultural pride, and a sense of belonging. Moreover, I delve into the ripple effect of representation, discussing how diverse narratives can reshape societal perceptions, challenge biases, and build bridges of understanding.
