The Voice It Out Podcast with Amrita is a platform created by two British Asian women, Shyama and Amrita. In the first season they looked into topics which were relevant to women and, in particular, British Asian women. In the second season, they attempted to prompt discussions around the split identity, and what it means to be British with a strong influence from ethnic heritage - no matter your gender. Season 3 saw Amrita going solo in front of the camera, talking to guests from different walks of life about their journeys, their mental health and also that all important influence of being part British and part of another culture. Now, scrapping the seasonal format, Amrita will continue these conversations as and when guests come on the podcast, allowing more conversations about experience, life-changing moments, and personal narratives that everone can relate to.

Jignasha Ruparelia on how the pandemic caused her to re-think her career

Jignasha Ruparelia worked in credit in corporate banking for a significant number of years before the Covid pandemic changed everything. Having understood that it was not sustainable for her to successfully balance a family with work commitments during that time, she made the decision to change her career path into an area previously unknown to her (learning and development)... and that too when she was in her late 30s, with a strong set of skills and knowledge within credit and banking. In this episode, she reveals her thought process for this pivot and also about the lack of Asian female representation within the corporate world. She also talks about the importance of getting the right support from colleagues as well as loved ones.
