In this episode, I chat with Seema Vankayla, a Community Support Worker with the Punjabi Community Health Services (PCHS) organization. The conversation covers a wide range of topics such as changing the narrative on mental health and therapy/counselling, how self-care starts with yourself first, how Seema got to lead the South Asian Women’s group and about her show Purple Tales that’s available on Youtube. Seema’s lens on why its important to celebrate yourself brings a refreshing tone within the South Asian community space and it’s worth to hear how she got to that place in her own personal journey.

The Brothers Ortiz
The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
