Urmi Hossain is the perfect brown girl. At least that's what her Bengali parents want her to be— and like many Southeast Asian women she still struggles against those rigid cultural norms. We talk to this third culture kid about growing up in Italy, Muslims in Montreal, and the family expectations that led her to fight for women's empowerment.
Bonus: get some Toastmaster tips on public speaking in your non-native tongue!
