"Being someone who's been called both "too Indian" and "too American" my entire life, I understand the struggle and the effects that a lack of representation in media can have on a young person growing up. Working in fashion and media, I've grown to love and be proud of my culture even more so than I did as a child. While I find it utterly inspiring to see how far we've come in a few short years, we still have a heck of a lot more to so. I've made it my mission to do what I can to make both my generation and future ones feel like they see themselves in the work I do so that the feeling of being 'othered' is a one day a thing of the past."
