Most Replayed Moment: Becoming a Person of Color Overnight: Rashi Favier on Race, Privilege & Finding Her Voice

July 02, 2025 • Mickelle Weber

In honor of Keti Koti, the Dutch remembrance of the abolition of slavery, this week’s House of Peregrine Podcast features a powerful conversation with Rashi Favier, content creator, activist, and stand-up comedian.

Rashi moved from India to the Netherlands just before the pandemic. In her words, she “became a person of color overnight.” What follows is a raw and revealing reflection on race, privilege, and identity, from navigating caste and class privilege in India to experiencing racism and othering for the first time in Europe.

Through humor and honesty, Rashi shares how she began using her voice to challenge social norms, explore feminist truths, and connect across cultural lines. Her story is a timely reminder of the power of awareness, especially in moments of remembrance like Keti Koti.
