Poonam Dhuffer chats to entrepreneur and speaker Saima Thompson about her cancer diagnosis and how she missed eating home-cooked Punjabi food while being at university.
We chat honestly about British South Asian representation in mainstream UK media, growing up in a predominantly white area and how to navigate conversations around "bad news" in our communities. Poonam explores family values and the importance of food in a Sikh Punjabi household.
