Akka's Unsolicited Advice
Welcome to Akka’s Unsolicited Advice, where eldest South Indian daughters finally get the mic (because we’ve always had the opinions). If you’ve ever been the family’s built-in babysitter, unpaid therapist, cultural translator, and emotional shock absorber all before hitting puberty, this one’s for you. Each episode serves up stories, unsolicited (but spot-on) advice, and big sister energy with a side of sarcasm. Whether you’re the resident akka or just need one in your life, come validate your oldest-daughter trauma with us. No filter, no apologies, just a lot of love and probably some judgment.
