In this episode, I’m joined by Urmi to explore the connection between language, accents, identity, and belonging. We talk about her experience growing up speaking Bengali, Italian, English, AND French, and how she went from wanting to hide her accent to seeing it as a source of pride and empowerment. We also discuss confidence, making mistakes, navigating multicultural workplaces, and why we don’t need to shrink ourselves to fit in. Most importantly, we explore how embracing the way we speak can help us show up as our most authentic selves.
