In this episode of Unscripted with Karishma Patel, I sit down with the vibrant and fearless Shreya Kolluri—realtor, content creator, and unapologetically herself. We dive into her journey of coming out as a queer South Asian woman, navigating relationships, family dynamics, and how she’s building a career in real estate while living life on her own terms.

This conversation is real, raw, and full of warmth. Shreya opens up about what it was like coming out to her parents, finding acceptance within herself, and creating a life where authenticity leads the way. We also talk about what it means to break cultural expectations, build community, and show up boldly—both personally and professionally.

In this episode:

Shreya’s coming out journey and redefining “normal”
Navigating identity in the South Asian and LGBTQ+ communities
Real talk on love, relationships, and living with a partner
What it’s really like working in real estate as a queer woman of color
Owning your truth—and turning it into your power
Whether you’re on your own journey of self-discovery or just love hearing inspiring stories, this one’s for you.
