In honor of St. Patrick’s Day, I am excited to announce that I will be representing Dublin, Ohio as Miss Emerald City USA in the Miss Ohio USA pageant!

This will be my 2nd time competing in the Miss Ohio USA pageant, as well as pageants in general.

St. Patty’s is kinda a big deal here in Dublin, so today was the perfect day to share the news! I may not be Irish, but the love for Dublin is strong. I am so excited to represent my city again! A Dublinite for life! ✊🏽

Stay tuned for all things pageantry and to see what I stand for/ why I am competing!

Wishing you all a whole lota luck today in whatever your aspirations may be! 🍀🌈🙏🏽🧿

Growing up I never saw someone I could truly relate to.

The Indians/Desis/South Asians? I was always taller and larger than they were. Many of them (at least the ones around me) were extremely studious (stereotype I know, but it was true at the time) which I couldn’t relate to. Also some had recently moved from India and I was born in the US. To name a few.

The white people? They didn’t really understand my culture or what I packed for lunch. Plus I was much darker than them. To name a few.

I couldn’t completely relate to my parents because they didn’t grow up in the US. I am first generation as well as the oldest sibling and cousin.

So, essentially I had no one to relate to.

After suppressing my interests for so long (thinking my parents may not allow, but didn’t want to ask) I had towards modeling/acting and pageant, I finally took the leap and have now been modeling for 8+ years & pageantry for a year. I wish I started much sooner but I am glad to be able to say that I did it. Still to this day I occasionally feel imposter syndrome. Especially when I first started out, because I didn’t see someone like me doing it. I questioned myself, ‘Should be doing this?’ ‘Am I good enough to be doing this?’

It took me a long time to realize that I didn’t have to see someone like me. It means I am unique and that is my power. I can do what is not expected of me. I have the opportunity to inspire other women to pursue their passions. I get to be the person young girls/women can look up to and see representation. I get to show that you don’t have to fit into a box. I can wear a lengha or a bikini. I can do both. I can do it all. Now I have dedicated myself to shattering stereotypes, instilling confidence & empowering others as my brand.

So this is what I have to say: Get involved. Say yes to opportunity. Challenge yourself. Forget the norms. Do what you love. Never give up on your dreams. Don’t worry what others will say. Forget imposter syndrome. Who cares if you’re the first one who looks like you to do it. Embrace all that is you. At the end, it’s your life & it’s just that YOURS. But remember, you are one of a kind.

Happy International Women’s Day! 👭🏽♥️

I wanted to share the COVID safety ad I was apart of for City of Columbus + the Spread Love, not COVID campaign!

It specifically highlights staying safe during the current holiday season with family + a little humor. I hope you all are being cautious, aware, & remaining as safe as possible when visiting others + opting for virtual get-togethers on Zoom when possible!

This ad is currently airing on YouTube, Hulu, & Local TV channels, etc. If you see it tag me or let me know! Loving all the messages from those who saw me & reached out 🥰 It means a lot. Thankful for this opportunity to represent my city and make a meaningful impact 🙏🏽

WORLD MENTAL HEALTH DAY! 🧠💗

Remember if you were supposed to be like someone else, then you wouldn’t exist. Because everyone is unique in their own way. Yes we have all similarities and differences, but there is NO ONE who is going to be exactly like you and that’s what makes you unique. That’s your SUPERPOWER. It took me so long to realize it.

Many of us don’t see that while growing up. I always felt out of place because I looked different. I didn’t really fit with the Indian/Asian crowd nor did I with white and/or Americans. I was taller and darker than the other girls. I’m STILL taller now at 5’11. I have large, veiny hands and wear a size 12 shoe. I have long limbs and thick eyebrows. I have thick, frizzy hair. I don’t have the ‘cute petite’ look. I have a deep voice. I felt like I towered over my peers. I will forever be mistaken for a man over the phone. I didn’t feel very ‘feminine’. These all internally impacted me. I never saw someone like me. I still haven’t it. But I know they exist somewhere out there and that I need to stand up for them. This is why I do what I do. This is why I became a model, joined pageantry, got into fitness, started content creating, worked for a Bumble, and took up numerous leadership roles. All to do what I’ve been best at all along...STANDING OUT.

I encourage you all to do the same, but before you do make sure you take care of yourself FIRST. Your mind and your body always come first. If you’re not in the best place, you will not be able to properly help someone else.

If you are struggling, please feel free reach out. I’m not a medical professional but I can offer assistance, share what has helped me and direct you towards resources that can better assist you. Our minds are powerhouses that have a million functions & responsibilities. You’re not alone & You are enough.

HAPPY WORLD VEGETARIAN DAY!🌱❤️

I have been vegetarian my entire life. That’s how I was raised and I have chosen to continue, for the moral & ethical reasons.

I think this is the best time to bring up misconceptions, hardships we face and just straight up facts that may be hard to swallow!

-Many diseases and viruses could’ve been potentially avoided by eating plant-based (*cough cough* covid)

-Just because it taste good, doesn’t necessarily mean you should eat it. There are plenty of animals that are illegal (domesticated) to eat who’s meat may taste just as great, yet it’s wrong to eat those...

-If you eat animals and call yourself an animal lover, you’re not a lover. You love pets.

-I’m tired of ordering a “veg labeled dish”, like vegetable pho for it to just end up having chicken broth and so on. My body will look for ways to expel it.

-Stop being vegan or vegetarian because it’s “treading”. It’s not a trend, it’s a lifestyle.

-Please leave jackfruit alone.

-Why would I want to eat imitation meat that tastes exactly like meat as a vegetarian? Then I would just eat real meat. No point if you’re subconsciously wanting it to be meat.

-If the only veg items the restaurant serves are imitation meat, how will I know if they accidentally served real meat? I won’t.

-Imitation meat serves a purpose for those who want to switch to plant-based, but not a great option for lifelong veggies.

-If you are using imitation meat, remember it is to help you transition not rely on. Otherwise you may even relapse and go back to meat.

-Yes seafood is meat.

-Yes gelatin is meat. It is in marshmallows, jello,etc.

-At fast casual restaurants...one scoop of meat protein is not the equivalent of one scoop of veg protein. That’s why when they barely fill the spoon, it’s a problem.

-Yes you can get enough plant-based protein w/o supplements, no veg dishes are not bland, & yes a meal can 100% be complete w/o meat. You have been brainwashed by society if you think otherwise.

-Here’s a thought, if you really want to save marine life, stop eating them first; then worrying about straws

-Yes for the millionth time, if I was stranded on an island, I’d eat whats available.

Got a chance to check out the Hello Kitty truck at Easton and picked up a treat! Some mini cakes...too cute to eat 😭💕

I don’t know about you guys, but I’m trying to take advantage any of events or just something fun going on (safely of course), as they’re hard to come by these days 😬

Especially Summer related fun...haven’t been to the pool once and Fall is right around the corner! 😳😅 I love all the seasons equally (jk Summer a little more ‘cause bday), but

Any last Summer plans?!

Yesterday, I got to walk in a Pop-up Fashion Show for Jolie again! This time it was a bit different...we strutted Short North, 6 feet apart with our sequins face masks. A head turning statement about social distancing. By-passers were hyping us up and taking photos, even those sitting inside restaurants! Such a fun, IMPACTFUL experience✨

PICNIC IN THE PARK 🧺

I’ve been wanting to have a picnic for awhile and finally was able to 🥰 It was so calm and peaceful at Goodale Park yesterday. I was able to practice stillness and reduce external stimuli. Being fully present in the moment and just watching everything else be in movement...watching life happen. Disconnecting from the noise and reconnecting with the world around me. It was a beautiful feeling.✨ I highly recommend.

Remember you are in control of your life. You have control of how something affects you (to an extend) and how you react to it (I’m definitely one to forget this at times). We can’t change that Covid-19 is still a thing. That bars and restaurants have difficult restrictions. That traveling is still a no-go. That...basically everything ’fun’ is canceled.

It’s okay to be sad and disappointed. It’s expected. I was too. But we can alter our mindset to make the best of it! 🧠 There’s still so much we can do. You just need to be openminded and get creative. This experience has made me realize the things that really matter and to slow down. 🙏🏽💕

Ready...Set...GLOW!✨

You all know I’m a total BECCA fan, so I had to get my hands on their Sunlit Bronzer! ☀️

BE THE MOVEMENT 👏🏽

Frequently I hear people say this should be done or that should be done. But they never do anything about it. There are no actions taken. If you want something to happen, make it happen. Be the movement.

That’s what my friend and fellow Propello Life ambassador, Mariah did! She had an idea and brought it to fruition. She collaborated with which is a local supplement company.

They created this ‘Be The Movement’ tshirt to support local non-profit Boyz2Men Inc. which provides mentorship opportunities for teen boys and life skills to excel. 100% of tshirts sale go straight to the charity. If you’re interested, checkout the link in my bio!

I’m glad to not only support this local company and be one of its ambassadors, but also to support one that gives back! I said it once and I’ll say it again, these are the only supplements I use for preworkout and protein powder! Even during my pageant prep! Check them out ☺️

I feel that often times women see their fellow women as competition, tend to make comparisons and therefore don’t support one another. It is unfortunate, especially in the South Asian communities and primarily on Instagram. One of the many reasons why I started my Confidently Brown .brown community 💗

1. Competition-Why does everything need to be a competition though? Here’s a reality check: there’s no “prize” at the end. We are all just immersing our creative minds into our passions, that is all. If you have a similar passion as someone else, by all means go for it! It’s not off limits just because someone else you know has already done it. Add a twist and make it your own.✨

2. Comparison-It is quite literally the thief of joy. There’s absolutely no need to compare because we all different people living different lives. The beauty in that showcases that we are all UNIQUE. There’s always going to be something someone else has that you don’t, but also something you have that someone else does not. Instead of filling out minds with this toxicity, we should be embracing our individuality and our skill sets.

3. Supportiveness-Providing support to another woman will not in anyway diminish your success. If anything, it will amplify it. At the end of the day, we need others to be able to collaborate and discover new opportunities; which contributes to our wins and growth. That’s the whole point of networking.

We already deal with so much external negativity from society and the media as women, we shouldn’t be dealing with it among ourselves. 🙏🏽🧿

Thank you to my loves 💗🙏🏽

💦⚡️HYDRATE & ENERGIZE YOUR LIFE⚡️💦

I don’t about you guys, but when I walked outside this morning it felt like a sauna...💀😅 This Summer’s been HOT and we need to stay hydrated! Now that I’ve been working from home just shy of four months, I’ve been itching to go outside lately any chance I get! (With my mask and sanitizer of course!)! Whether it’s for groceries, a photoshoot, working out at the park, or just errands!

I love that I can just toss a stick of Liquid IV in my bag to stay replenished in the heat 🥵 and stay energized⚡️! Did you know, 3 out of 4 people suffer from dehydration daily, half of Americans suffer from daily fatigue AND, 1 in 3 lack proper sleep?

Liquid IV has a hydration multiplier, an energy multiplier and a sleep enhancer here to help! Just add water 💦 They utilize CTT(Cellular Transport Technology) to expedite the delivery of nutrients, water, and the sleep blend into your body and it is clearly explained on their packaging with visuals.

Happy 4th of July & Happy 244th Anniversary of Independence!! 🇺🇸 🎉

Things definitely look different this year with corona, quarantine, protests, fireworks cancelled, etc. (Was able to catch a glimpse of a few while firework chasing!💕)

Though, I have still chosen to celebrate...celebrate how far we have come as a nation. But I know and understand that we are not truly free, until we are all free. All Humans.

We have A LOT of work to do, but we are making progress & making chance! And that’s what makes me proud to be an American born citizen 🙏🏽

This is my home. This is my country. This is the land of opportunity my parents immigrated to on their own and become its citizens.

BLM is one of the many things our country needs to work on. We must all stay determined to continue to make change happen! I’m looking forward to seeing your beautiful growth, America. Let’s get to work! 💪🏽

THIS IS 26.

Feeling some type of way about this uncharted territory of the ‘Late 20s’ on top of navigating through these peculiar times of 2020. But none the less, I’m hopeful.

My intentions are:
-To be kinder to myself (not just through retail therapy 😅) and allow all toxicity to diminish without providing it the attention it feeds off of.
-To never forget that there is only ONE me and that I CANNOT be replaced.
-To continue being my authentic self regardless of external forces.
-To continue to shatter stereotypes & empowering others.

Twenty-six, let’s see what you got in store for me 🙏🏽

MULTITASKING WITH FACE MASKS OR EYE/LIP GELS

I don’t know about you, but for me it’s hard to sit still. When using face masks/gels, I typically try to do something that requires minimal movement. Swipe ⬅️ to see 😅

Things you can do are:
-Watch Netflix
-Check emails
-Online shop
-Read a book
-Write in your journal
-Plan out your weekly calendar
-Meditate
-Paint your nails
-Style your hair
-Have a drink.
I would try eating a snack but, something tells me that might not work out 😝

Patchology sent me some masks & gels that I want to share with you! I already use their products and absolutely love them, especially when it comes to their quality and cute packaging (Last slide). Here I’m using their ‘Keep Smiling’ tea-infused aromatherapy lip gels and ‘Chill Mode’ cannabis seed oil-infused eye gels!

Check out their variety of products, best of all free shipping in the US!
