Estranged From Your Family: Part One


On this bi-weekly podcast, long-time friends Karen (28) and Sirianna (29) discuss race, saviorism, queerness, mental health, adoption, and other topics (some silly!). 

This podcast is a way for Karen (a black woman) and Sirianna (a queer Tamil woman) to honor their practice and process of reclaiming the racialized labels they were given growing up, of being “too much” and “too loud". 


Two Much Two Loud with Karen and Sirianna
