Life experiences and growth. Conditional love and family expectations.
South-Asian culture and American/Candian/Western upbringing and influences.
Choosing your own path and facing hardships, broken relationships, and
gaining a deeper understanding of self-worth in the process. We talk about
all of the above and a lot more in introducing one of our newest LKK Log,
the beautiful and strong, Natasha Khawja-McGowan (@purposeandchai), ❤️ a
Pakistani-American/Canadian actress, blogger, and all-around positive
influence promoting a love for life we are so inspired by. ❤️
Tune in this week to hear Natasha talk about her take on life, the
difficulties she faced, and the beauty in finding the strength to keep
going regardless of what’s thrown her way. Our favorite piece of wisdom
Natasha shared with us? Feel the fear and do it anyway. ✨ -
Yes - this is us dreaming of sitting across the table and sharing in-person
convo over coffee or hot chocolate with our friends again. :) We are so
excited to be kicking off 2021 with a dear friend, Pree ❤️ (the wonderful
@secondgendesi) - talking about her adventures in Italy, 🇮🇹the realities
of learning new languages and culture 🌎, ambitious goals like PhDs, and
the balancing act of taking care of oneself 📚- and how tired we are of
‘new-year resolutions’ that are never meant to stick. ❌ Join us as we catch
up with Pree over Zoom (for now🤞) about transitioning into a new year and
how any new promises or resolutions with this turn around the Sun should
only be to ourselves - mind, body, and soul. ❤️🧘🏽 -

Meet Arushi (@arushilohiya) - a truly inspiring, wondrous spirit who shares
her journey of being brave through the pain and working hard every day,
using her energy towards making what others might have (mistakenly) seen as
her weakness into fuel for positivity and spreading awareness about what it
means to truly fight a chronic illness. She is the definition of not
worrying about ‘log kya kahenge’. ❤️ -
Joining us this week is Tina Aswani Omprakash, founder of @ownyourcrohns
and blogger, patient thought leader, super advocate and South Asian health
activist for chronic illnesses from our community! ❤️ ! ✨ Come along with
us as we talk about experiences living with chronic illnesses in the South
Asian community, accepting yourself first and the importance of choosing
individual health and life before the unfair (and often unrealistic)
expectations of the world of what “normal” is. -
What’s better than catching up with a friend after a whole decade? When
that friend has had some amazing experiences, learnings, and lessons to
share with you just like your own! Meet Shayan Ali, the Lahori-Londoner,
film-maker, and fellow creative. 🙌🏽 Join us in listening to our session
with him as we talk about moving to Pakistan and back to London, crazy
teachers, nose rings, culture shocks (yes-plural!), and our shared path of
making it in creative fields as South Asians. Welcome to the LKK family,
Shayan! ❤️ -
Imagine telling your parents in 9th grade that you don’t want to go to
school anymore and then you actually don’t go for the next two years. This
one is long overdue but our next episode is a conversation with one of our
bravest Log (people) who is an inspiration to say the least. When
@aimen_malhi was talking to us about our first episode together, we had
planned to talk about bullying in schools but when we sat down to chat,
just the first ten minutes of listening to her story had us in awe. From
telling her parents as a teenager that she does not want to continue school
to embarking on a journey to self discovery all in the societal constraints
of the culture around her. Join us in this episode, “Full Circle” in
learning from a person who is single handedly spreading awareness about
mental health and what it means to really not care about log kya kahenge 🌟 -
🌟 Presenting our first ever collab episode : Brown Voices 🌟
This week’s episode is super special with 3 amazing people who join us as
“Our Log” on LKK and share their experiences, thoughts, voices and love!
From stories about growing up, breaking the rules/norms, trying to fit in
and then deciding it wasn’t for us to changing roles within family and
exploring our cultures — this is a chat amongst five South Asians who got
together because of one shared message. Join us as we learn more about each
other and stay tuned for our collaborative journey and growing friendship
⭐️❤️🥳
P.S. stay till the end to hear a behind the scenes collaborative surprise

The word ‘addiction’ holds very obvious connotations for many of us, but in
Episode 13, we talk about the not-so-obvious addictions which our culture
has a hard time understanding. Food addiction is a real thing but is passed
off as “he/she eats too much”. Gossip is passed off as casual conversation
but is detrimental to mental health when left unchecked.
In this episode, ‘The “other” Addictions’, as we talk about the addictions
South Asian people have a harder time acknowledging but are as dangerous as
the obvious ones. -
3 days of shaadi (wedding) + 679 mehmaan (guests) + 27 kinds of food and
dance sequences + 1095 judgy aunties = lots of shaadi shenanigans.😜🔆Tune
into this week’s episode - Shaadi Shenanigans - to hear all about
one-of-a-kind weddings only found in our part of the world 🥳💥💋 -
Colors represent not only skin tone anymore - they are used as an identity
for many diverse communities which makes humanity whole. ✨In this week’s
episode, Colors of the World, we are talking about the different humans who
make this world colorful and celebrating their differences as strengths
which make them unique. -
In tonight’s episode, we are taking a break from our scheduled topics to
speak about what’s happening in our world - the outbursts, injustice and
our role as the South-Asian community in America. Join us as we talk about
the importance of highlighting the struggle of our fellow brothers and
sisters today - And how staying silent is not an option anymore. -
From the outfits and henna to traditions old and new, join us as we talk
about the Eid drama in full effect as we celebrate the year's most loved
occasion! We are here to make your Eid a little more colorful and sweet
during this year's mid-pandemic Eid. From our families to yours, Eid
Mubarik! :) -
It’s pandemic times and it has officially been a crazy amount of weeks
since we have seen each other (and aunties 🙄) in person. Catch us talking
about calendars filled with zoom calls, crazy things we saw on social media
(looking at you, Elon Musk) and the amazing things our health care workers
are doing in these times. -
Join us as we talk about the new reality we are all living in alongside a
pandemic as it turns our lives upside down. From social distancing to who’s
got the most toilet paper, this episode is all about our experiences as
humans who navigate these unprecedented times together. -
An entire episode dedicated to emotions, expression, healthy outlets and
regulation strategies. We talk about how important it is to bring awareness
to how we are feeling and how important it is to realize it is an integral
part of who we are. When we are by ourselves we are true selves and there
is a lot of reflection that can take place in those moments.
