Diaspora Dialogues:
How Baat Cheet Began
In the wake of George Floyd and Breonna Taylor's murders, I reached out to my friend, Juhu Thukral. I wanted to confront our South Asian community's complicity in oppressing other people of color. Through our talks, I realized a stark truth – despite our immigrant families' efforts to be #WhiteAdjacent, we would always seen as “the other.” I realized I needed to connect with other South Asian women leaders to gut-check my thoughts and feelings.
On June 10, 2020, I launched "South Asians @ Chief," the first identity group in that space. The number of attendees revealed an overwhelming need for community. In that first meeting, we shared our ancestral journeys and found connection through commonalities while embracing our diverse backgrounds because, #WeAreNotAMonolith.
Baat Cheet℠ has since grown to encompass South Asian women across the US. We discuss a diverse range of topics, including diaspora literature, cultural observances, professional hurdles, family relationships, and women's health. We support each other through challenges and celebrate our victories and fabulous outfits.
It's life-changing to find that unique understanding only those who share your journey can provide.
