Meera Estrada is a radio host and the founder of Fusia Media, a company engaged in digital lifestyle publishing catered to South Asian Canadian Women.
Her biggest turning point happened when she shared publicly that her family were part of the Dalit caste, also known as the untouchables or the lowest caste in the Hindu caste system.
Meera found out that her family was in this caste as a teenager but it would be more than 20 years before she said anything about it publicly. Now, Meera uses her platform to raise awareness about the harm casteism causes around the world including in Canada and the US.
You’ll also hear about how Meera came to found Fusia Media and an exciting upcoming project related to her activism around casteism.
