YouthSpeaks was born out of a frenzied text sent late into the hours of the night. Sonya was thrilled about the possibility of diving into the world of mental health. Leela readily agreed, co-hosting season 1, but when she moved away to college, Sonya immediately FaceTimed her middle school best friend. Piya agreed to carry the legacy, and the rest was history. YouthSpeaks brings in acclaimed guest speakers to discuss mental well-being, specifically in people of color, from a South-Asian perspective. Tune in with Sonya and Piya for advice, comfort, and a (virtual) shoulder to cry on!

Love these ladies!
Just listened to the heteronormativity episode, these girls are so well spoken, and organized! Very impressed ❤️ they are have great chemistry and clearly enjoy each other’s company a lot! I’m 27 so it was refreshing to hear young folks having such a great education and understanding of representation issues. They make me hopeful for our future.
