Acerca de esta escucha

The Rabia and Sana Show is a podcast about reinventing cultural norms for the misfits and underrepresented in the South Asian community. We know firsthand that breaking free from the familiar is not easy, especially when it’s you against the [cultural] norms. We also know that fitting into a box you don’t belong in can be painfully suffocating. That’s why we are creating this safe space to have discussions that embrace our personal identity, emotional and mental health, and happiness. We are daring to address the topics you don’t want to talk about but know that you must, to help you find your healing, closure, and best life. Together we will learn from highly qualified professionals and from those who have overcome these challenges.

  • Redefining Identity & Challenging Societal Norms with Shakeb Zuber
    Jun 8 2025

    In this powerful and eye-opening episode, Rabia and Sana welcome Shakeb Zuber, an advocate, educator, and truth-seeker, whose journey has been about growth, adaptability, and challenging stereotypes. Shakeb's work includes working with NGOs on campaigns for women's empowerment as well as in the corporate sector, content management and business development. In this episode, they explore how deeply culture and society influence the way we see beauty, religion, and women’s identities—especially in South Asian communities.

    They unpack society’s version of religion versus the actual essence of faith, and how women’s identities are often reduced to their appearance. Shakeb shares his personal journey of unlearning the toxic ideals of beauty he was taught, redefining it through resilience, authenticity, and inner strength. From the dangerous obsession with fair skin to the cruel reality of acid attacks in India, this episode sheds light on the pain that fuels his mission—and how we are all part of the mindset that enables it. Shakeb speaks candidly about working with acid attack survivors and young children who already associate value with glamor. His message is clear: we are more than how we look, and breaking free starts from within.


    They go deep into the sensitive topic of how culture and religion intertwine in the South Asian culture and what we can do to separate culture from religion.


    💬 "We are not worshipping God—we're worshipping people. That’s not religion, that’s culture."
