#217 TURNing it up with Ilhaam Mohammad: Tradition, Healing, and Personal Reflection

"Partition didn’t just divide land—it fractured relationships, cultures, and collective memory. And that loss, that silence, still echoes through generations." – Ilham Mohamed
In this special episode of Wellbeing Wednesday, Gurjeet sits down with Ilham Mohamed—researcher, writer, and community advocate—for a powerful conversation on identity, cultural memory, and emotional wellbeing in South Asian communities.
From the often-overlooked contributions of Indian Muslims in Canada to the inherited silence left behind by Partition, Ilham reflects on how history lives within us—through language, food, film, and relationships.
The conversation then turns inward, unpacking the emotional dynamics between adult children and their parents in South Asian households—where love, guilt, and duty often coexist. Drawing on insights from mental health advocate Sahaj Kaur Kohli (Brown Girl Therapy), this episode gently unpacks the tension between tradition and personal healing.
This isn’t just a story of the past—it’s about how we carry it forward.
