I believe that it's so important that we take the time to try and understand the world through different people's eyes. I really value speaking with my friends from different cultures and learning about all sorts, from tradition, to food and values. 

I feel so fortunate that by moving to London I was able to learn about different people from a variety of backgrounds. Being from Norfolk there isn't a huge range of nationalities and cultures, for example before moving to London I had no idea that Plantain existed...I had never seen it, heard of it or had the privilege of eating it! I have since discovered it's extremely delicious and popular! 

Today's episode is all about learning and discovering what it is like to be born into the Asian Community. From 'rules' to conversation do's and do not's, relationships, religion, dynamics, racism, education and everything else in between. 

I speak with Nayha Ahmad in this episode. She is such a brilliant friend and I'm so pleased we have grown closer in recent months. She is a dating guru, she is kind and warm and I feel so grateful that she came on the podcast to educate us today. 

This is Nayha's story...
