In this episode I'm joined by Urmi Hossain. Urmi is a proponent of self-development and continuous learning. She's also an author. She was born and raised in Italy by Bengali parents, who wanted her to be the typical Bengali girl: obedient and perfect for the community. In her book called "Discovering Your Identity: A Rebirth From Interracial Struggle", she narrates what she had to go through in her childhood. She does this through reflections and confessions about what it felt like growing up in a household that wanted her to be someone she didn't want to be.
She's also a polyglot as she speaks 4 languages: Bengali, Italian, English and French.
You'll hear us talk about:
- Her book
- How she learned English
- Fear of being judged
- Fear of making language mistakes
- How to be confident in speaking a second language
