In the sixteenth episode of my third season, I am joined by Sehmat Suri to overthink about community. 

We dive into: 
• The value of reciprocity in community
• Hyping your friends and peers up. Celebrating with them instead of competing with them.
​• Giving to your community while also prioritizing taking care of yourself 
Sehmat Suri, known to many as Semi, is a digital media strategist, model, content creator, actor, and tv host who made Halifax her home in 2014 when she moved from India to do her undergrad degree at Saint Mary's University. Through her journey so far, she's learnt she's passionate about storytelling, sharing, and bringing people together, especially in people of colour. That led her to creating The POCketbook, where she organizes meetups for BIPOC creatives and artists to lean on each other and build their own niche in the Halifax community.

You can find Semi at @itssemiprecious and @pocketbookevents on Instagram.

In the fifteenth episode of my third season, I am joined by my pal Esther Bejarano to overthink about fitting in.

We dive into:
• The different layers of what it means to fit in
• The connection between confidence and "fitting in"
​• Not losing your goofy self in an effort to fit in;)
Esther is the Coordinator of the North Shore Local Immigration Partnership (LIP), working with stakeholders to foster more welcoming and inclusive communities that improve settlement and integration outcomes for newcomers. She was an Immigrant Settlement Staff with YREACH for 6+ years before that. Being an immigrant herself she understands the challenges and needs that immigrants face when moving to Canada, rural NS specifically, and is passionate about removing barriers for people to have a better quality of life.

Esther serves on the board of the Rotary Club of Truro, is part of the Truro Colchester Welcome Network, and Creative Voices. She's tolerated by her fabulous and talented musician of a wife, her quirky and big-hearted 9-year-old daughter, and 4 fur babies.

​Thanks to the Truro Colchester Partnership for Economic Prosperity for letting us record in their boardroom.

Oh, and it's
