Dirty Brown
Dirty Brown is a podcast where host Kriti J dives headfirst into the messiness of life, identity, and breaking societal norms. Born and raised in India, now navigating life as a brown queer woman in North America, Kriti brings her personal experiences and unfiltered insights to the table. This is a space to challenge cultural expectations and reclaim the parts of ourselves that others might call ”difficult” or ”unsanskari”. From dating and sexuality to identity and success, Kriti explores topics often left unspoken. Tune in for thought-provoking discussions, unapologetic takes, and the occasional laugh along the way.
