Brown and Happy Dr. Payal Patel Ghayal

Going from a start up to artist is not an easy step for anyone, let alone a woman of color.

Natasha Patel is a self-taught abstract artist based out of Costa Mesa, CA. She worked nearly a decade in toxic male dominated corporate start-ups before making the leap to become an artist and creative entrepreneur full time towards the end of 2021. 

She uses fluid acrylics, inks, sand, and epoxy resin to create statement abstract paintings that are bold in color and vibrant in composition. Natasha is heavily influenced by the organic patterns and structures found in nature and the universe, and is currently working on an abstract collection inspired by ancient Indian architecture and textiles.

Payal Desai, also known as Payalforstyle on Instagram and tiktok. Her viral “Dusty Son” series on social media seeks to dispel traditional gender roles beginning right in her home - teaching her sons. The series has MILLIONS of likes and has grabbed the attention of media outlets and talk shows including the @tamronhall show on ABC @fox29philly @parents BusinessInsider (@insiderbusiness ), and more. In many ways Payal’s role as an educator (16 years in the classroom) informs much of her content creation influence and strategy. 

In todays's episode we dive deeper into her journey from Educator to Content Creator. Being in the public eye and sharing about her own story of sobriety, gender disappointment, and advocacy. She had to make some difficult decisions and I am in awe of her commitment to her own values and ethics.

Do you notice the subconscious competitive vibe in the brown community?

As kids, we saw it in the older generation and were even roped into it. Remember the aunties and uncles bragging about how their kids were smarter and more talented than others? This competitive message from our families, culture, and community has seeped into our adult lives. So, how do we break this cycle of trauma and rivalry among our own people?

I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Joy is available to you at all times, even in the midst of suffering. Today Dr. Sethi joins me to discuss Joy, Justice and its connection to the brown community today.

Tanmeet Sethi, MD is an Integrative and Psychedelic Medicine Physician, activist, author, and TEDx speaker who has dedicated her career to care for the most marginalized patients in Seattle’s refugee, uninsured and homeless populations as well as global communities traumatized by manmade and natural disasters as senior faculty for The Center for Mind Body Medicine. Her first book, Joy Is My Justice: Reclaim Yours Now, published in May 2023, is a radical call to claim Joy as our birthright, the deepest liberation we can know and a path to power through oppression. She is also a Clinical Associate Professor at the University of Washington and a primary clinical investigator there on the sacred plant medicine, psilocybin. In her clinical practice, she weaves modern and ancient medicine to catalyze the most profound healing. More info on her practice and her book are at her website: https://www.tanmeetsethimd.com
