McDonough Talks | Letters to My Brown Mother

In this episode, we welcome our first-ever alumni guest to the show, Muzna Abbas. Muzna is a dual master’s degree graduate from Georgetown in business and foreign service. Currently, she is a Strategy & Analytics Consultant in Deloitte’s Federal Practice, and she’s also a published author. As a first-generation Pakastani-American, Muzna wrote “Letters to my Brown Mother” to start conversations about mental health in the South Asian diaspora. In it, Muzna examines historical events, migration patterns, and cultural communities to understand why South Asian migrants fail to adequately address mental health.
