Upside Down Smile Show: Kna Series with Tintu
Channel: Upside Down Smilie (Shereene)
Date: 2021-03-18

This episode of the Upside Down Smilie Show is a part of the Knanaya Series where I interview four members of the Kna community and we discuss their experiences. The Knanaya community is a cultural community from Kerala, India, that practices endogamy, marrying within the community, to maintain the bloodline. There are specific traditions that have been maintained and are unique to the community that we discuss. I talked with four people about their experiences and perspectives.

The first interview is with Tintu, a young man in his 30s that married a Knanaya woman and has a family with two children. Tintu shared what his experience with growing up in the community and his viewpoints on it currently. I appreciated that we could have a respectful conversation on topics that we do not see eye to eye on exactly. Thank you, Tintu, for being a part of the Upside Down Smilie show. 

The Upside Down Smilie Show is a weekly show where I sit down with a guest to talk about real-life topics but we don't take it too seriously. I love sharing the stories of everyday people because we all have stories and ideas worth hearing and sharing! Come by and share your story!
