A woman is always judged by her external characteristics, even in the 21st century. Women who do not adhere to the societal norms of 'beautiful' are often deemed as an outcast and are judged by one and all.

On that note, we spoke with Ishita Kumar who shared her experience of dealing with hair loss and embracing baldness.  Ishita was born and brought up in Delhi. An architect who turned her profession as furniture manufacturer. She is light headed and proud (took a long time to get here). Growing up, she tried every hack to better hair density, to stop the thinning and balding, struggled and eventually owned it.

We hope Ishita's journey gives everyone a strong message of hope, resilience and confidence.

During times of crisis, community resilience is put to its greatest test, and history has shown that diverse communities are more resilient than mono-cultural communities. 

This anthology podcast series showcases real stories of how multicultural communities in Melbourne are supporting each other throughout tough times such as the coronavirus pandemic.

This project will build the capacity of communities to engage in constructive dialogue with the media as a means of addressing local challenges and create another pathway into media for culturally and linguistically diverse journalists and media makers. To participate in Stories of Community Resilience, please contact podcasts@3zzz.com.au.
