Dilz Prasad on Culture, Gossip, and Being Unapologetically Yourself

Episode 2 of Under the Brown Rainbow welcomes Dilz Prasad — a first-gen Australian, Fijian Indian, queer, non-binary community radio host who wears many hats (and rocks the short hair to prove it).
In this conversation with host Kashif Harrison, Dilz opens up about growing up in Western Sydney's tight-knit Fijian Indian community, where everyone knows everyone — and everyone has opinions. They share what it was like to be outed through community gossip, the ten-year journey of conversations with their parents, and why resilience, gratitude, and humility are the recipe for being yourself when the world around you isn't sure it's ready.
We also talk about what it means when your culture feels more conservative than the homeland it came from, why your nani might be your greatest ally without ever saying a word, and how representation through community media can quietly shift what a community believes is possible.
Under the Brown Rainbow is hosted by Kashif Harrison and produced by Kunal Mirchandani. Presented by Trikone Australia.
