What a special human @baktashahadi is. Which made for a really interesting, introspective conversation. One I don’t have often, esp on a podcast. 🙏🏽 Look forward to your thoughts. ❤️ @stories_of_transformation

Posted @withregram • @stories_of_transformation Award-winning actress Sheetal Sheth dives deeply into how cancer taught her how to hold perspective, to write one’s own life narrative. ⁣
⁣
In this episode of Stories of Transformation, we unpack her experiences of being raised in a traditional Indian household while living in America, the differences in how she is raising her children vs. how she was raised, her struggles early on as an actress where she literally lost jobs for refusing to whitewash her name, and more.⁣
⁣
🎧 Learn whatis the recurring driving force for creation in Sheetal’s life of giving space to narratives and people that are usually not represented in mainstream media⁣

I am so excited to talk with Kanchan Koya, aka THE 'Chief Spice Mama' this week. She has a PhD in biomedicine and is a nutrition genius in how she looks at food and its healing properties for you and your family. (also, spices does not have to equal spicy!) And they really do have profound health benefits. I have so much I want to talk to her about - if you have questions, please send them my way and I will be sure to bring them into the conversation. See you Friday! Oct. 23. 1pm EST. Holla! @chiefspicemama #plantbased #breastcancerawareness #healthylifestyle #spices #healing #food #youarewhatyoueat

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think

There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about my cancer and wonder if it's going to come back. The survivorship mind f*ck of it all is its own beast with a very long reach. For the most part I stay hopeful and grateful but there are some really hard days.

Something to ponder..."The tragedy is not that I'm sick. The tragedy is that you are all certain you will outlive me because I have a disease."

I say this not to scare but to inform. As being our own advocate is the best thing we can do.

1 in 8 women will get breast cancer. Every 13 minutes, someone will die from breast cancer in the US.

Don't take your health for granted. Stay on it. We need you.

Wishing love and good health to us all. #breastcancerawareness #fuckcancer

Today's #BCAMSpotlightSeries ambassador is Sheetal Sheth @beneaththesheetz: "I’ll never forget the day of my biopsies. It was December 21, 2018. I stepped into a packed waiting room and was stunned by a blur of pink. There was a literal sea of pink medical gowns on women of all ages, backgrounds, and dispositions. United in anxiety. My day had gone from a ‘suspicious’ mammogram at 7:30 am to ‘must have biopsies’ that same afternoon. It progressed so fast, I couldn’t even comprehend what was happening. It was unthinkable that I would be diagnosed with cancer a few days later." Thank you, Sheetal, for sharing your #LOVEBeyondAwareness story.

Friends-

Want to bring some sparkle to kids who have been hit the worst this year?

I know we have all had a tough year in different ways, but for some it has been catastrophic.

Here's how you can help. I have partnered with the incredible global organization, @roomtoread to get books I curated to kids who need them the most. I specifically picked books that were inclusive and have a social justice angle to them. All from under-represented groups.

We would appreciate any donation you could make. No amount is too small or large. The goal is to get as many books as we can to these kids! And it would be just in time for the holidays! Imagine how much brighter you will make their end of the year.

Link to donate here and in bio.

I will also be randomly selecting someone who donates to send #alwaysanjali swag to for every week in October. Just send me a screenshot! 👊🏽

And please please share widely.

Thanks so much- I am so grateful for your hearts and generosity.
💕🙏💕

We were supposed to premiere @SXSW.

It’s particularly heartbreaking for independent filmmakers this year. When you don’t have the same access to money and resources, every little thing matters. But I’m so proud of @irampbilalofficial and the team behind @illmeetyoutherethefilm. I loved being a part of this project. I got to play with my dear friend @faran.tahir after 20 years from our first film together. And I got bask in the glory that is @nikitatewani and our fearless leader, @irampbilalofficial.

The film continues to make waves virtually at several festivals, including the Visual Communications Los Angeles Asian Pacific Film Festival as well as at the Port Townsend Film Festival. Join us tomorrow for a Q and A. And stay tuned for more as the film finds its way into your homes and hearts. 🙏🏽👊🏽🤸🏽‍♀️🎥 #indiefilm #actorlife #workingmama

“If I can’t vote, I can’t consent to be governed.”
Women’s Equality Day is a great day to remind us that the #ERA is yet to be adopted. Can you believe it’s 2020 and we still don’t have an amendment guaranteeing equal protection for all women in our Constitution. The founding fathers got this wrong and it’s taking us far too long to rectify this egregious mistake. Equality of opportunity should be a baseline for all. Please vote your power. #equalitycantwait @equalitynoworg #vote #womensrights #humanity ✌🏽🙏🏽

Today, on #WomensEqualityDay in the U.S., inspired by @fixeditheadline, we've corrected the Declaration of Independence.

Women's Equality Day marks the anniversary of the adoption of the #19thAmendment. Yet, 100 years later, women, especially women of color, are left behind in the fight for #equality in the U.S. We believe equality shouldn’t depend on the color of your skin, where you live, your beliefs, your sexual orientation or your gender identity. Every person, everywhere, has the right to be treated equally under the law.
