I'm excited to launch another audio project!! Today I'm sharing Episode 1 of "There & Back Again", an audio project that centers mindful travel full of respect, reflection, love, and the understanding that all of us in this world are far more similar than we are different. I was inspired to continue my exploration of this medium while talking (endlessly) about large themes such as transformation and curiosity and open-mindedness in travel.

Episode 1 - To the Motherland

I talk a lot about India and being Indian-American. I talk about how much that country means to me, and how I'm so grateful that my parents sent me there almost every summer as a kid. That country built me just as much as the United States has.

As a result, I love hearing stories from other diaspora kids on their travels to the motherland and how it impacted their understanding of their own identities. So a few months ago, I asked some friends to record the story of their first time visiting - or returning to - their motherlands. I asked them to share a moment, a memory, and what they learned from that journey, about themselves and their families. I am so grateful to my friends for taking the time to make this beautiful episode.

Please listen, share, and leave a review or comment. Thank you!
