I'm a third generation Punjabi Sikh and I studied History of Art in London before working in cultural programming and research management. Throughout my studies and career, I’ve been fascinated to observe how faith, devotion and spirituality manifests in culture and education. Whilst many of us are weary about the language of religion, our faith literacy has lots of room for growth. It is so important that we accept our limitations and remain open to different ways of being, knowing and seeing the world. Intergenerational disconnection has been compounded by my lack of attention and interest at Punjabi school as a kid. This language barrier has made it difficult for me to connect with my grandmother in particular. Though we have a loving relationship and our non-verbal communication keeps us going, my lack of Punjabi conversational skills is ultimately so restrictive and frustrating. The reality is that the language will erode if it is unspoken. Seeing more young Punjabis online owning the language and feeling proud of this is empowering and important.
