In this episode, we’re diving into a story that resonates deeply within South Asian communities—a story of coming out, setting boundaries, and supporting parents along the way. Kashif sits down with Sheetal Deo, an Australian lawyer of Fijian Indian descent, a facilitator, and an advocate who also runs a law firm called Shakti Legal Solutions.

Sheetal shares her experiences with these complexities, from finding the courage to live her most authentic self to guiding her parents through the process with the help of her brother and even creating a support network for the rainbow community facing similar circumstances.
