“The journey isn’t about becoming someone else. It’s about unbecoming everything that isn’t really you..”
– Paulo Coelho
Reclaiming Identity: From Pain to Power through Healing and Self-Discovery
Marya Kazmi, known as Brown Girl Interrupting, is a writer, educator, and executive producer of a talk show centered on healing, identity, and challenging societal norms.
Writing has been her way to heal, explore her path, and reflect on her mistakes, as she navigates life as a daughter of immigrants raised in a conservative Muslim community.
Through her podcast, Pain to Power, she elevates stories of triumph through adversity, using her expertise in Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion to guide others toward healing.
Marya’s journey is about reclaiming herself unapologetically, flaws and all, while helping others do the same.
