Asian Bride Sorority (ABS) was set up to help brides navigate wedding planning and beyond. The best part? They'd be doing it alongside a community doing the exact same thing, at the exact same time.

Did you know 68% of South Asians cannot swim (at least 25m)? Not only that, but 78% of South Asian females identify as not being able to swim, either!

In this episode, I speak to Senior BBC journalist Summaya Mughal about her very own award winning podcast (Brown Gal Can't Swim). After interviewing Team GB swimmer Alice Deering, Summaya realised that someone needed to raise awareness of the challenges the South Asian community were facing when it came to swimming.

I speak to Summaya about how the podcast came together, her path into journalism and much more.

What is a Desi pub? The word "Desi" comes from the Sanskrit word Des, or Desh, meaning homeland. More specifically, a South Asian homeland. In my conversation with it's author, we talk about Britain's racist history that led to these pubs being set up, why they were important then, why they are still important today and the amazing stories behind these establishments.
