"When I started my career in the fashion industry, there weren't many South Asian creators. I remember hesitating at first to post South Asian content because I didn't think people would be accepting. I feared it would limit my reach and brands wouldn't want to work with me because I didn't appeal to a broader audience. I know now how ridiculous that is. Being South Asian is only a plus. There is so much beauty in our culture that the inspirations are endless. I can do a full-on Bollywood inspired, an extra AF look one day, and then a minimal look the next. I thought I was limited, but really being South Asian just means my playground is bigger."
