Episode 4 - Breaking the cultural glass ceiling

05/18/21 • 56 min

Welcome to the Working Millennial Women podcast. As part of the Modern Muslimah Series, I interview Parisa R, my med school roomie who is now a board certified internal medicine doctor, mom to a special needs child and Bengali-American wife. In this episode, we talk about how ordinary women can break the cultural glass ceiling by shattering traditional gender roles in a relationship, creating a partnership with your spouse and not falling prey to the pressures of societal expectations.

Welcome to the Working Millennial Women podcast. I am your host, Nikita, and as part of the Modern Muslimah Series, I interview Parisa R, my med school roomie who is now a board certified internal medicine doctor, mom to a special needs child and Bengali-American wife.
