Whenever I have discovered creative talent in a #SouthAsian youth at some point the conversation of #ParentalSupport always without fail comes up. It was happening so frequently since the days of @JaySean and @Raghavworldwide that I even built a talent incubator and development platform @desicircus to cope with the major issue of lack of support for talented young #SouthAsian. ■ If we want to be able to #breakbarriers and #SmashStereotypes we first, needed to get family consent. Which always seemed bizarre to me. Still to this day I have regular conversations with parents of young Asian musical or creative talents, trying to convince the parent to believe in their child's talent. A few times sadly I have failed to win the debate and some incredible singers will never be heard or producers who will never be given consent to make music or actors never allowed to fulfill their ambition to attend auditions and be free or artists of any discipline able to express. All because the parents have those proverbial scissors in hand and are clipping wings. ■ for anyone going through this, I say, please come forward, I will fight your corner if I believe you are capable of progressing and are doing it for the right reasons. Once I believe in you, you'll get all the support I can provide. ■ Start by showing this image to your parents. (Avoid the chappal hit that may come after) if you survive that, send me a DM. FOLLOW @DESICIRCUS AND SEE ALL THE UNCLIPPED DESI CREATIVE YOUTH doing their thing. #DesiCircus - supporting #DesiYouth in their expression using the arts. This image was shared by a brilliant young singer/songwriter @bhavina27 who I still hope will be able to share her talent with the world. I believe in her. Let's hope. 🐦

When you're a child, you don't always know why you do what you do or think the way you think. As time passes you can begin to notice patterns. There comes a point where that pattern paints a very clear picture with a message. This is mine, in everything I do. Whether it's set up a business to combat unfair practice or invent a disruptive system or technology. It's who I am. So go on baddies, give me something to do. 😉 #qotd Turn #negatives into #positives #optimism #change #strength #terry #mardi #desi #asian #india #pakistan #sri #lanka #bangladesh #TerryMardi hosts #FridayNightBrainDrain for @DesiCircus coz #DesiCircus is #DesiYouth
