121. Breaking Taboos and Bridging Cultures: A Sexual Health Conversation with Kaamna Bhojwani

The Healing Catalyst

Today, Dr. Avanti is joined by Kaamna Bhojwani to discuss the often-taboo subject of sexual health, particularly from the perspective of South Asian women. Growing up in a progressive family in Bombay, Kaamna was encouraged to embrace her experiences as normal and safe, a stark contrast to the conservative upbringing common among South Asian immigrants. Kamna discusses the universal challenges and cultural nuances of addressing sexual health, highlighting the importance of education, open communication, and self-exploration. Her work aims to dismantle misconceptions and empower individuals to reclaim their sexual well-being, advocating for a more informed and liberated approach to sexuality across cultures.
