BlindianProject

In July 2020, a gentleman named Peri contacted us on Facebook. He'd heard of the BlindianProject from friends and wanted to share his story about his girlfriend Priya, who was coerced to return to India to support family members who were supposedly ill.

Peri knew something was foul from everything that happened before her trip. Despite warning Priya not to go, she believed her family, and Peri hasn't seen her physically since. After speaking with Karma Nirvana, the Forced Marriage Unit, and other organizations, without any luck, Peri hoped our conversation might help provide some closure or help anyone else in a similar situation.

BlindianProject.TV presents: Hopes & Dreams, a conversational series with dreamers, innovators, activists, entrepreneurs, and everyday visionaries of the Global Majority, to showcase, strengthen and liberate. This episode features Dr. Evelyn Mensah: Ophthalmology Clinical Lead, WRES Expert, and the first EDI Chair for the Royal College of Ophthalmologists. Following the 75th anniversary of the National Health Service, we'll speak with Evelyn about her career, resisting systemic racism within the NHS, and her hopes and dreams for creating a better future for everyone.

Join us for a conversation on Black British and British Asian on-screen representation. Sponsored by: Birmingham City University // Diaspore Screen Media Network — Exploring Black British and British Asian Cinema & TV. We also share the backstory of the BlindianProject and how social media allowed us to dodge gatekeepers, aunties, and uncles to become the "Home of Black x Brown Culture."
