Meaningful change begins with open conversations, sitting in community with people and getting uncomfortable about difficult things.On this week’s episode of the podcast we talk with Aisha Toor. Listen in as Aisha shares her experience immigrating to Canada as a child, growing up and living rurally as a person of colour, and the costs of not seeing yourself reflected in the community around you. Aisha talks about how she has consciously and unconsciously tried to fit into the fabric of her community, often by hiding parts of herself. She reflects, from a young age you learn to hide your differences, hide a part of yourself, as a way to protect yourself. Aisha asks a powerful question when it comes to wellness: how can one be well, when you’re not fully able to be yourself? Thanks for tuning into this episode of Bend.
