In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Nisha Aaliya is a powerhouse. She’s an actress, a dancer, a singer, a model and has worked on some incredible projects including Netflix’s The Girl on The Train alongside Parineeti Chopra, Amazon Prime’s Shakuntala Devi alongside Vidya Balan, numerous adverts including Deliveroo and Hellmann’s and yet still somehow manages to remain completely grounded, genuine and lovely when you speak to her.

In this episode we discuss exactly how Nisha went from pursuing a career in IT working her way up the corporate ladder to becoming a leading actress in a Bollywood musical overnight with no formal prior training in acting or intention to audition. We talk about the exciting work she has been involved in recently, what it’s like to be in the creative field, especially during COVID, what her hopes and dreams are for her future, and also what it’s like to work in Bollywood as a British Asian actress. We also discuss the significance of dance in her life and how it powers her to make important decisions whilst also touching on her relationship with her roots and the significance of parental approval in desi families to pursue careers in creative fields. All of that among tons of other stuff and a few giggles. I hope you enjoy this wonderful chat.

Amaan Duffer: Making Connections That Led to Bella Hadid, Beyoncé & Doja Cat Wearing His Designs 39:34

vor 27 Tagen39:34

39:34

Meet Amaan, the 21 year old visionary behind the disruptive jewellery brand Basliq. He recently launched an official collection at Bloomingdale’s for Wicked The Movie—a collaboration that stemmed from a chance encounter with Cynthia Erivo (the actress who plays Elphaba in the film) at the Loewe store on Bond Street, leading to an unexpected friendship. Amaan shares with us how he’s built his brand through raw authenticity, being in the right place at the right time and maintaining genuine relationships, with icons like Bella and Gigi Hadid, Beyoncé, Maya Jama, and Doja Cat championing his designs, as well as being one of the first South Asian designers and the youngest designer in history to style for the Met Gala. We also dive into his mixed Pakistani-Indian heritage, growing up in Manchester and now calling Dubai his home. At this point in his life, Amaan has already understood what many spend their twenties (and beyond) figuring out—his purpose: to create a brand that every cool girl you can think of is wearing. Episode chapters: (0:00) - Introduction (2:51) - How Bella Hadid wore his jewellery (6:43) - Authenticity in the industry (8:37) - Growing up half Pakistani half Indian (11:09) - Creative process (13:41) - Jewellery production process (15:25) - Getting to work with Doja Cat (18:05) - There is no break in fashion (24:45) - Global representation in the fashion industry (28:03) - Key takeaways from running a global jewellery business (29:25) - Pay young designers fairly (34:32) - If Miuccia Prada isn’t on your moodboard, you’re doing something wrong (37:35) - What does Amaan have strong game in?

Nina Davuluri on Breaking the Mould 1:06:25

vor etwa einem Jahr1:06:25

1:06:25

In this episode, we sit with Nina, the first South Asian woman to be crowned Miss America in history. This year, she celebrated 10 years since being crowned, and we spend some time reflecting on those days as well as discussing all the advocacy work she now does to help women embark on their self-love journey. When Nina became Miss America, it never occurred to her that she would face immense backlash, both from media outlets in the US as well as in India, where she was deemed too ‘dark-skinned’ to ever be crowned Miss India. Nina took her time to process the negativity and returned with a strong, intentional message. She delivered a TED talk, opening up about her experience and the price she paid for being the first among her demographic to hold this title. She created ‘COMPLEXion’, a documentary aiming to challenge the archaic notions that exist around global perceptions around skin colour. She also wrote to CEOs of major CPG companies including Unilever, the creators of skin lightening cream formerly known as Fair & Lovely, as well as L’Oreal which she now sits on the DEI board of. She was instrumental in the companies ditching terms such as ‘fair’ and ‘light’ in their product marketing.…

Sravya is an award winning illustrator and art director who places a huge focus on impact and activism in her work, particularly around topics involving mental health. In this conversation, she shares her experiences as a third culture kid of Telugu descent having grown up in Hong Kong and how she has infused those experiences in her artwork.

Avisha Patel on Impact with Redirection 46:15

46:15

In this conversation (featuring an adorable furry friend) we sit with Avisha, the founder of Friendsline, a UK based charity that for the past 10 years has been running mental health, mindfulness and yoga workshops for women and girls in India and Nepal who have faced gender-based violence. Avisha has tirelessly worked on this initiative for the majority of her 20s, and now having stepped into her early 30s, with all the life changes that it has brought with it, is considering whether it's time to move onto pastures new. She kindly shares where she is at in her journey of accepting the evolution in her life, and the confusion it can create around her perceived identity; a feeling many who are purpose driven but don't feel the exact same way anymore about the ventures they started a long time ago may resonate with.

Sreesha Shetty on Being Her Own Customer 1:05:19

vor etwa einem Jahr1:05:19

1:05:19

This week we sit with Sreesha, the founder of Shop Lune, a contemporary jewellery brand based in Mumbai and Goa. If I told you that her designs have been worn by Alia Bhatt, Kareena Kapoor, Deepika Padukone and Katrina Kaif to name a few, and she has not spent any money on PR, would you believe it? Having grown up as a South Indian in Goa and lived across Pune, Bangalore, London, Birmingham and now Mumbai, Sreesha admits that she feels most comfortable in discomfort. Perhaps this is what makes her a great entrepreneur, not being afraid of leaning into her 'otherness'. She prides herself in having grown Lune organically, admitting that it hasn't been a perfect journey and one that has taken a very long time, but one that she has come out of stronger, and is proud of. We get into more technical discussions around finances and what it really takes to set up a jewellery brand, but also into the mental side of what Sreesha would have done differently if she were to start her business again today. A lot of gems in this conversations.

Farooq Got Audio on Being That Guy 1:10:50

vor etwa einem Jahr1:10:50

1:10:50

For as long as he can remember, Farooq Got Audio really was ‘that guy’ who downloaded leaked layers of songs and mashed them up together to create new sounds. Years of graft have now led him to being one of the world’s leading South Asian music producers. At the time of recording this conversation, his ‘Mayya Mayya’ remix had hit number 3 globally in terms of reach on Instagram. Despite being so talented and producing incredible sounds - often making the original tracks even better - he candidly tells us about how large music labels haven’t always supported him. Having now dealt with a legal lawsuit with a huge film production company, he has yet to be deterred and continues to produce catchy music that reaches millions around the world.Find out more about Farooq on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/farooqgotaudio/ Website: https://www.farooqgotaudio.com/ If you haven't already, please do give Brown Game Strong a follow to be the first to be updated about new episodes.…

In this podcast interview from her recent trip to London, we sit with singer, songwriter and actress Lisa. We talk all things foot fetishes, how she ‘almost’ became a tennis player had it not been for her ADHD, going from almost taking a job as a data scientist at Uber to becoming an ‘overnight’ sensation in the Bollywood industry, the relentless grind that came after her ‘big break’ in Mumbai and her current mission to uplift young female talent in the desi music industry. It’s not all roses, but as she puts it, it’s worth it. Check out her new album ‘Sorry, I’m Late’, her new Amazon Prime series ‘Call Me Bae’ alongside Ananya Pandey #behencode, and also her new podcast co-hosted with Shah Rule called ‘Dish & That’.

In this increasingly hilarious episode, we sit with Srishti, a visual artist, illustrator and fashion designer based across London, Bangalore and Kolkata. We talk to Srishti about growing up watching Nickelodeon and Cartoon Network as a 90s kid, to going from being super crafty and creative to studying science to entering the world of fashion design. We discuss what it is like being a maximalist in a world becoming increasingly minimal, and how staying true to herself has brought her some incredible opportunities to work with brands like Michael Kors, Adobe and now Hermès. Srishti also shares some very 'motivational' gems from her own life experiences that will certainly leave you floored.Find out more about Srishti on: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/srillustrator/…

In this episode, we sit with Natasha, a choreographer, performer and dance content creator all about how she stumbled upon a full-blown career in dance, growing up not being that interested in dance but falling into it and subsequently starting a lifelong journey of training and teaching in numerous dance styles. We talk about how glamorous and sustainable the jetsetter life really is, and the importance of putting yourself out there on the internet with your art, and using it to create a community around you and spread joy across the world. A wonderful hour chatting with an eclectic and incredibly talented woman. I hope you enjoy holding space with her just as much as I did.
