Prickly Peers
Have you ever wondered why some brown women can stand up to norms and stereotypes more easily than the rest of us? We call them prickly women! Is prickliness inherent or inherited, can you build the prickly muscle to be able to achieve your goals more easily, where do you lie on the prickly meter? Join Ankita and Nalini, your prickly peers, as they talk to uninhibited brown women all over the world in a quest to find the secret brown sauce for their courage, success and happiness.

S01E02: My Mother Said.....can't make chai, how will you get married?
Did you get pushed into learning to cook by your mother? Or more specifically - can you boil a cup of chai to an Indian mother's perfect standard? Ankita decided to never perfect the art; as a way of daily rebellion against the absurd traditional connection of cooking and being "marriageable" .
What pushed her otherwise modern, working, supportive mother into jokingly repeating that her daughter couldn't get married if she didn't learn how to make tea?
Tune in as Ankita & Nalini chat about the role of tea in South Asian marriages and why Ankita is yet to learn how to make tea.
Do you have your own prickly views to share on the topic? Tell us what your daily rebellion is, on our private FB community- https://www.facebook.com/groups/296365129710350
