Personal

Growing up with immigrant parents in Australia taught me to always hold onto my values

Mishti shared her struggle reconciling the two worlds she grew up in saying

In Sydney, the weather gets up to 40 degrees, and bikini babes are the norm around here; but, for me, that felt as foreign as covering up.
I didn’t feel I belonged in either of my two worlds; I didn’t know how to be Bengali and Australian.
This came through in the conflicts I had with my parents, whether over the places I wanted to go, or the clothes I wanted to wear.
My rebellious side flourished in my teens, as I perfected the art of working around their rules to keep my true self above the surface, and reject my parent’s needs for an obedient daughter.
I hid my true self in a backpack and changed when I left the house, almost like a super hero, transforming when no one was looking, but never feeling as powerful.
I remember my Muslim friends did the same.
We got used to hiding parts of who we were from our families.

She has since grown up to embrace these two worlds.
