In today’s episode, I’m joined by Ajanta Chakraborty, dance instructor and owner of Bollywood Groove & Culture Groove.

Together, we discuss the struggle to find a sense of place and belonging for multicultural individuals and how embracing other cultures can have a long-lasting, positive impact on society as a whole.

We also talk about:

• Supporting children’s well-being by helping them find excitement in their culture and learning to celebrate it
• Making space for cultural learning to reduce a fear-based view of the world
• Misconceptions about Bollywood, bellydancing, and camels
• The limiting nature of the word “should”
• Effort vs. impact and the importance of the 2x2 matrix
• Being a piece in a larger picture with others trying to make the same changes instead of taking it all on yourself
