Changing Suits
Members of the South Asian Community often go through similar experiences, but don’t discuss problems outside of family out of concern for ‘what the community will say’. Over time, this has led to taboo topics, isolation, oppression, and inequality. And enough is enough. Hosted by second generation British South Asian sisters Taj and Bal, the Changing Suits podcast helps members of the South Asian Community across generation, gender, and geography develop a common understanding and awareness of issues affecting the community, so that the community can thrive. The podcast also gives people outside of the community an opportunity to deepen their understanding of South Asian culture and values so they can help build services, companies, and a society that are better and more inclusive. Tune in each week for a closer look at modern South Asian life with a dose of tradition.

Breast cancer can affect anyone, but conversations around screening and research participation are still missing in many South Asian and ethnically diverse communities.
In this important episode, Taj and Bal sit down with researchers for the FAST MRI DYAMOND Study, and why more people from South Asian and ethnically diverse backgrounds need to be represented in breast cancer research. Together, they explore why early detection can make a life-changing difference.
This podcast episode is sponsored by the NIHR Research Delivery Network, and explores:
• The difference between self-examinations and breast screening
• What the FAST MRI DYAMOND Study is and why it matters
• Why mammograms and MRI scans are so important
• The benefits of catching breast cancer early
• Why representation in research matters for future healthcare outcomes
This is an honest and informative conversation designed to raise awareness, encourage action, and help break cultural silence around breast health.
