"We haven't seen enough global representation for South Asians. 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 color 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."
