This season finale episode coinciding with Pride Month and celebrating the idea of normalizing all kinds of identities and perspectives, especially from our Brown Colored Glasses, is so very fitting.  Specifically, as a listener, you get to hear from a panel of those within the South Asian community who identify with LGBTQ+ and who share their stories - their struggles, their wins and what they represent. Fayzan Gowani, a queer and trans Muslim passionate about intergenerational healing; Nazesh Ali, also a trans individual, an entrepreneur, creative artist and a host on Radio Azad and our very own Shama Dharani, BCG's beloved co-host, who identifies as a lesbian and is passionate about financial literacy. Tune in to listen to this grand finale of an episode where you will walk away feeling a real "sense of pride" and ensuring you grant yourself and others around you the self-love that we all deserve.

As South Asians, we are all too familiar with the dreaded word "dating" and what that can mean in terms of stigmas, taboos, expectations, outcomes and more. This episode discusses it all - the idea of dating, what it means today for the current generation versus our parents generation, dating only within our cultural community, how dating to marry (and not to explore relationships) is a rite of passage that a South Asian must go through and so much more. Tune in to this light hearted episode coming in from all the various angles of the  co-hosts perspectives, but definitely intersecting with so many of our own notions when it comes to South Asians and dating.

As a bonus episode to all the listeners, this was a special live recording with the BCG hosts and Rizwan Mawani, a passion educator, author and researcher in the field of anthropology and religious studies. His work has taken him across the globe to address audiences from students to policy makers and BCG had the opportunity to host him and ask any questions from the live audience related to faith, identity and spirituality. On the heels of the last episode (For The Love Of God) and all the buzz and chatter, this episode serves as a linchpin to answer all those burning questions we have about our faith, as the next generation of South Asians living in a Western society.
