I look at this woman and I sometimes can't even believe who I see looking back at me 🥹 How much I've transformed in the last 12 months both mentally and physically is almost unbelievable sometimes and it was something as unexpected and chance as pageantry that really brought that out in me

As a malayali, I grew up eating with my hands. And every time I do, I'm unlearning every comment and every stigma associated with it in the Western world. It feels like I'm coming home 🏡

A moment for the hair, makeup and the DRESS ✨ Yesterday for the interview, I walked in with authenticity, purpose and with courage. As a South Asian American woman and daughter of immigrants, I understand how we are guided on a very specific path to success. I shared my platform Unlearning the Standard, on how to find your voice, how to walk confidently in your truth and be the architect of your own life. @petiteusa
