Being Your True Self
Trying to become the real you can be hard, especially if it means upsetting your family. Folake from Benin speaks to Dr Shefali.
Being the real you can be difficult, especially if it means upsetting your family. Folake from Benin tries to be a ‘good girl’ and avoids taking decisions her family would not approve of, but she wants to listen to her heart. She speaks with Dr Shefali, an Indian-born clinical psychologist – now based in New York. She is the author of A Radical Awakening, which aims to lay out a path for women to discover their inner truth.
Presented by the BBC's Sana Safi
Produced by Charlie Taylor and Ruth Edwards
