Meesha Shafi - The act of speaking up has liberated me, it's been like shedding dead skin
Description
On this first episode of season 3 of Her Kajal Won’t Smudge, Shana is joined by the queen of Pakistani pop music – Meesha Shafi. In 2018, Meesha spoke out publicly about the sexual harassment she endured at the hands of a popular actor. Time Magazine described this moment as having sparked Pakistan’s #MeToo movement. In this candid conversation, Meesha shares what it means to live with her decision to speak out and how her music is an expression of her reflective self-journey. The woman we meet is courageous, vulnerable and so completely authentic.
Meesha talks about the music videos for her songs Amrit and Hot Mango Chutney Sauce. You can watch them here:
