I recently had the honor of being interviewed by the very kind, positive and uplifting Indian ostomate and advocate named Dinesh Kundnani. Dinesh is someone who I came across early in my own journey as an ostomy advocate and it’s amazing to witness how he’s transformed from new ostomate to a seasoned one. Dinesh now helps others in India especially by showing his ostomy and helping to destigmatize what is considered to be a very taboo medical device.
Early on in our interview, Dinesh asked if I would do this podcast show in the Hindi language! I was dumbfounded in the moment but I quickly agreed as I realized how many villages in India and South Asia, in general, this podcast could help if done in our mother tongue. So please check out my efforts to speak in Hinglish lol! We hope this episode helps you feel a little less alone in your own journey as an ostomate:
Thank you, Dinesh, for hosting me on your show. I’m truly honored that you thought of me as your first guest.
So, own your Crohn’s, own your ostomy, and use your voice to help empower others and inspire positive change in the world. My only wish is that others may never witness the troubles that those before them have faced.
