Desi Girl Speaking

It's a fact universally acknowledged by everyone in the community: Desis don't get depressed. It's just not a thing.

Tweety is struggling.

Faced with family and friends who don't fully understand what's happening to her, she feels like no one is listening and there's nowhere to turn to.

Until she stumbles across Desi Girl Speaking, a podcast by someone else who's struggling too.

But while Tweety and Desi Girl begin to confide in each other, Tweety's depression deepens. Will she stay silenced or use her voice to speak up?
