Episode 37 - Zinnia Kumar

Rejection is a temporary state

“Get addicted to getting rejected.” - Zinnia Kumar

This week I sit down with Zinnia Kumar, an Indian Australian model and PhD student at Oxford University in the United Kingdom. In this episode, Zinnia talks about a wide range of topics including social phobia and overcoming it, the fashion and beauty industry for South Asians, colorism, facing rejection, and the power of media and advertising when it comes to representation.

As always, I welcome any comments or feedback. Available on all podcast apps.

With gratitude,
