Episode 29. How to Respond to Questions about Your Origin.

What are you?  Where are you really from?  I'm guessing you've been asked these questions multiple times.  And does it get better?  It didn't for me.  And then I figured out something while looking at journalism and verbal abuse.  That how we answer this question can shift how we feel about it and the dynamics of the conversation.  

I revisit this topic from Episode 1 with another way we could respond to questions about our origin.  Utilising the same information I learned about conversations, I add in a more direct element.  In this episode, I discuss the philosophy with how I respond (which is beneficial to how I feel) and then walk through the components of a great answer that leaves you with love of your origin story.

I’m T. Vyas (she/her), you can call me "T" because most people do.  I’m, as you’ve guessed, a person of colour who looks forward to chatting with you about some things identity, some things colour and ALL things Love!  Tune in Tuesdays for a new episode!  In the meantime, you can find me on Instagram @bareinmind.podcast or at the blog: bareinmindpodcast.com.
