- Oral Histories Project, South Asian Heritage Month 2023, real stories with Chronically Brown and Cysters
Panel Session with Kaveeta Shukla from Chronically Brown: Chronically Brown is a non-profit organisation working towards tackling the stigma of disability within the South Asian community. We also work towards diversifying the disabled community with campaign projects such as #desiabled. Kaveeta is a disabled South Asian Woman affected by infertility. She will share her personal story of her unique challenges and strengths while living with infertility. We’ll hear Kaveeta’s empowering insights on breaking down stigmas around infertility, reproductive health, and disability in South Asian Communities.
2nd Speaker - Neelam Heera a Tedx Speaker, founded Cysters after facing her own battles around getting her diagnosis and care for PCOS, Endometriosis and PMDD. She saw first-hand the disparities in healthcare for people of colour and other marginalized groups, thus Cysters was born. Neelam felt that issues around reproductive health was often trivialised by healthcare professionals and sexualised by racialized communities due to outdated cultural beliefs, male dominated spaces and patriarchy.
