Episode Synopsis

Such a powerful, moving, and informative conversation about transracial adoption this week with the amazing @sandhyaoaks. November is #nationaladoptionmonth. So often the story of adoption is told from the viewpoint of the adoptive parents. Sandhya, a South Asian adoptee, covers so many important topics about growing up as the only person of color in her community and the journey of discovery from self-contempt to establishing a healthy identity formation in the midst of complexity. We talk about hurtful words and phrases asked of adoptees and helpful tips and resources for transracial adoptees.LEARN MORE ABOUT SandhyaInstagram: @sandhyaoaksFacebook: @sandhyaoaksPlease check out the Show notes for more resources and avenues to hear from Sandhya.Stay connected with me onInstagram: @vivmabuni + @somedayisherepodcastTwitter: @vivmabuniwww.vivianmabuni.comCreditsSound Engineer: Aaron Kretzman of Phos StudiosMusic: Joseph Patrick of Passion Net ProductionsExecutive Producer: Chantel RunnelsDesign: Jocelyn Chung
