Natasha Patel on What Being South Asian Means to Her

"We haven't seen enough global representation for South Asians in lifetimes. The paradigm shift is finally happening because of the power of social media and our voices and personalities are now being seen. I feel happier and more confident because there is a collective effort of people trying to overcome their obsession with fair skin. The beauty space has come so far (and still has a long way to go) in giving women of colour a boost in the way they look, yet staying true to who they are and their roots. Same for the fashion space, when we see runways, brand campaign shots with similar features and faces as our own, it brings a sense of pride."
