Episode #128 with Jeya Sivans

The Swinging Palm Trees Podcast

**Trigger warning*: contains descriptions of domestic violence**.
In today's episode, I talk with entrepreneur and Revenue Consultant Jeya Sivans. Jeya talks about her career and what it takes to sustain a business in today's climate. We chat about what she encounters as a woman working within the Tech industry, and how she strives for equality within a male dominated industry. She also chats about her other projects including owning a catering enterprise as a restaurateur, and what it takes to make a good chicken curry. Jeya also shares her experiences as a survivor of domestic abuse and violence, and why it is important to bring awareness of such issues to communities within the diaspora. Jeya discusses what it means to be a proud Tamil woman, her love for saris, and of course, she shares the quotes that continually inspire her.
