TOPICS WE COVERED

Shay's Background and Family: Shay comes from a mixed cultural background, with an Indian father and a Caucasian mother. Her father's journey involved challenging traditional norms by marrying a non-Indian woman in a love marriage, which was initially met with resistance from his extended family.

White Rainbow Project: The project was inspired by the harsh realities faced by widows in India, who are often ostracized and blamed for their husband's deaths. Shay's family learned about these issues through a book her brother brought home, which led to increased awareness and action.

Film "White Rainbow": Shay's father, a scriptwriter, created the film "White Rainbow" to shed light on the plight of widows in India. The film faced challenges due to cultural sensitivities but was eventually made available on YouTube to raise awareness.

Supporting Widows through the Project: The White Rainbow Project supports widows by teaching them skills to create products sold internationally, helping them gain financial independence. The project also provides medical assistance and educational support for widows and their children, aiming to bring awareness and drive change regarding the treatment of widows in India.
