I'm a mum to an adorable one-year-old girl, an educator specialising in community engagement skills, and the founder of a ground-up initiative dedicated to South Asian women in Singapore.The writer is the founder of Don’t Say OK, Kanmani, a ground-up initiative dedicated to South Asian women.Singapore has about 450 active ground-up initiatives, made up of groups of individuals who come together in self-organised projects to help the community.
The name Don’t Say OK, Kanmani is a gentle nudge to many women, especially from minority communities, who perhaps tend to say “OK” too easily, accepting whatever is given without asserting themselves. For instance, it is challenging to address sensitive topics such as marital expectations, which can often evoke resistance or discomfort due to entrenched cultural norms.
I also recognise that participants prefer online sessions when it comes to some topics, giving the option to remain anonymous. Many other women have similarly connected with our work and collaborated with us on various projects. Now, the thought of navigating this journey alone feels unimaginable.
