How to Change the World, One Kid at a Time: From Medicine to Toys – Career Reinvention for a Better World, with Dr. Zee of InKidz

“I lived in Southern California, born and raised my whole life. And I was bullied for being different”. That’s how Dr. Zabina Bhasin, better known as “Dr. Zee”, experienced her childhood as a South Asian American growing up in California. Today she is a child psychiatrist who is deeply committed to the health and wellbeing of children. Her work is about building self-confidence and self-awareness in kids, and she’s been committed to diversity, equity and inclusion in the healthcare space since her career began. So when her own child came to her upset and confused about how she was treated as a South Asian American, she realized history was repeating itself, “It hit me: Oh my God! This is the exact same thing I went through”. The same ignorance Dr. Zee experienced as a kid was still happening today. Frustrated, dismayed, and sad all at once, Dr. Zee knew the only way to change things is through education. And that's when her life took an unexpected turn. She left her thriving career as a doctor to start InKidz, an educational toy company that aims to build belonging, self-worth, and acceptance from an early age. On this episode, we're digging into two breakouts: Dr. Zee's courageous decision to leave one passion to pursue another, and how she dealt with the friction she experienced in moving from a respected profession to create products that challenge the status quo. Dr. Zee’s second breakout is about her work in stopping the cycle of ignorance and building more acceptance in the world. Plus, with the holidays coming at us quick, you're going to get some amazing gift ideas for all the great kids in your life!
