The Beens Talks Podcast: Recent Episodes
Beens Talks
Musings of a 20 something year old Pakistani around South Asian cultural problems, rishta aunties, dating apps and domestic abuse. I aim to explore a lot of brown culture problems, how I feel they have materialised and contributed to some of the perceptions we face today. For an equal and a fairer society, we need to empower both men and women hence the door is open to you all. Come in, have a seat, listen in and let's chat. With love, B x
In this episode, I briefly explore a few comments that are used to perceive single women in our society. There are many but I have focused on the two for now, the "You must be single because you are career orientated" and "You are single so you have no responsibilities." I have also touched on the ideas of self-worth and self-love and how some members of the South Asian community have misconstrued the two to their advantage. I end the podcast by sharing a few of my personal reflections. I would love to hear what you think so please get in touch on IG @beenstalks_1 and let me know what you think! Love, B x
Episode 2 of my podcast talks about the two things that are still enforced or catered for by some muslim matchmakers:
-
Looking for potentials who are fair skinned,
-
Encouraging women to accept potentials who are many years older than them.
Introduction about the Beens Talks Podcast with slight discussion on the use of Whatsapp rishta groups and dating apps for the singletons currently looking for 'the one.'
