Join us for an enlightening conversation as I sit down with Saoirse, a first-year PhD student in the English department at Brown University. In this episode, Saoirse discusses the complexities of living at the intersections of being brown, queer, and neurodivergent within both the Indian education system and as an international student in the United States. From embracing the beauty of queerness to the challenges encountered while navigating legal and bureaucratic systems, they candidly reflect on their experiences and share their journey.
