Lay Your Head on My Pillow - with Roopa (JD/MA/PhD)

Sweet is strong. A podcast for readers of romance, listeners who need a calm place to park their ears for a little bit, & for survivors of sexual violence. In this podcast I make space to explore ways of being, ways of being sensual, ways of being present, and just ways of being myself. 

I am Dr. Roopa Bala Singh, your host. 

Roopa is a former law school professor of race and property. Dr. Singh has a law degree from UC Berkeley, a Masters in Cinema Studies from Tisch School of the Arts, NYU, and a PhD in law and history from Arizona State University. Roopa is a former Director at the San Francisco Rape Crises Center (Community Initiatives, SFWAR). 

Roopa comes from gharana-trained, nationally recognized Indian classical musicians, as well as revolutionary lawyers and resisters in India. She was born in the Southside of Chicago, at the University of Chicago, and was raised across the United States (CA, NY, PA), India, and Sweden. Roopa and her son, Ravi Ali, are both overseas citizens of India and American citizens. The poetry continues. On her most recent trip to India, she lived in Kerala for a year with her son, while researching the lives of yoga teachers and wellness tourism workers.
