I’m so excited to be speaking today with Rene Subash, a South Indian Malayali food blogger whose cooking videos have been a viral sensation. She’s on a mission to make authentic traditional recipes less intimidating and more fun. Based in Liverpool, UK, Rene shares recipes passed down through generations of her Indian family, all while showing that South Indian cuisine doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious. Her approach is all about breaking things down, keeping it simple, and making traditional cooking accessible to everyone. We’re excited to dive into her story, her tips for stress-free cooking, and, of course, learning about her from a lens we can’t just see on social media. Let’s dive right into it.

Welcome, Rene!

I’m so excited to be speaking today with Rianjali, a South Asian American singer, songwriter, and now producer hailing from Queens, NY. While in school, she was trained in Western vocals during her acceptance to the prestigious LaGuardia High School for the Performing Arts. While speaking with Rianjali off the mic, I learned she was a former domestic violence case worker in hopes of becoming a mental health therapist. As someone who initially saw music as a passion project, her passion turned into a full-blown career as opportunities came knocking on her doorstep. And we’re not talking about small opportunities - we’re talking about opportunities to personally train with world-renowned AR Rahman in India, which had her think twice about her initial career aspirations, and she chose to take that flight and follow her dreams.

In this episode, we will highlight Rianjali’s music journey, how she learned to monetize in this space and create a career with multiple streams of income, any guidance she’s willing to share, and what’s in store for her future. Welcome, Rianjali!!

I’m so excited to be speaking today with our one and only Ms. Lana Patel, an Afro-Indo-Caribbean trans woman who is a model and has been the face of brands like Pantene, Live Tinted, and HoliChic to name a few. She is also an activist in the LGBTQ+ space and leverages her social media presence to fight for trans individuals to have a seat at the table. Her mantra is that true liberation can only be achieved once each human being is seen as an equal.

I met Lana at a Brown Girl Magazine event back in May, and I loved her humble demeanor. It’s a full circle and beautiful moment for me to have her on the show to share her story.

In this episode, we will highlight Lana’s journey on how she found herself and became confident in her identity, how she decided to pursue modeling and the impact its made in her life, her social media presence and how she leverages it to do good for the world, and what’s in store for her future. Welcome, Lana!!
