What Would the Aunties Say?: A brown girl's guide to being yourself and living your best life
- Brand: Unbranded
Description
Indigenous and non-Indigenous Australians can use ‘aunty’ or ‘auntie’ towards a woman of high esteem and earned respect, but non-Indigenous Australians should always ask whether this is appropriate. Your family will always pick a straight and narrow job that has a future, one that's never going away. The Aunties and our extended family members love to remind us where we have come from and often dont want us to lose our identities, but it can be difficult to balance being the westernised instagram girl vs the traditional brown girl. She says she doesn’t remember the exact words of the ritual herself, because it was a translation of a piece Wong helped them find.

I wanted to speak about certain things that would annoy me or things that I would get into a debate with my dad about at home.

PS: Do you have any advice for fellow brown girls that are maybe struggling with their identity or have chosen less-traditional career paths? You're almost labeled as crazy, and I think everybody is just afraid to look bad, and that's really what it comes down to. They have no clue, and they're going to say, "Oh, no, that's not going to work," or they're going to bring negativity or judgement.In our culture, we're always thinking about what would other people think, but really the people are the aunties. We live in a very different world today to our parents, uncles, aunties, and grandparents, which comes with lots of unwritten rules and expectations.

The Aunties don’t waste any time in snitching to your parents when they catch you out on a date and they’ll have no shame telling everyone too. It's so easy to listen to the people around us, but they can be quite ignorant to what you're doing.They may feel some shame, but that's on them and that's personal, but all in all, I think everybody gets it, because they were once a young brown girl, too. With almost a decade spent in the beauty influencer industry, Anchal has built a unique and heart-warming brand that embodies everything it means to be a strong, ambitious, independent woman.
