Breast cancer in the South Asian community is a topic that doesn't get talked much about. My guest on today's show, Iyna Butt, knows all about this.
You see, Iyna is a British South Asian woman, and when she was diagnosed with breast cancer, she soon realised that cancer in general, let alone breast cancer specifically, seems to be a subject that nobody talks about.
Although no doubt the intentions were good, she was given all sorts of strange advice about what she needed to do to get rid of her cancer; like wearing a black bra for example!
She knew then that she had to do something about this.
In this episode, Iyna talks about her breast cancer diagnosis, her charity work in raising breast cancer awareness within the South Asian community, and the challenges that need to be overcome to ensure that women from all backgrounds are catered for within the health care sphere.

S2 Ep38: How can you tell if your bra fits? - Julie Blanche
In this episode, we are talking about all things bra-related.
If you think you know about bras..think again. In this episode, I talk to Julie Blanche who is an expert bra fitter. It was a great conversation and you wouldn't believe how complex the world of bras can be. You don't know what you don't know. That is so true.
At the end of this episode, you will learn so much.
We talked about so many things, including the best way to put on a bra, how to look after them as well as ways to achieve symmetry following breast surgery.
Give it a listen, your bras will thank you for it!
