Meet Me on The ‘Gram!

  • I’ve been witnessing some milestone conversations on Social Media on how White people can become better allies for the Black community. I also want to help spread the message for my own community. Because let’s be honest, we have racism amongst people of colour. Prejudice against Black people is prevalent in the Asian community. We are divided and ignorant of each other’s stories. Instead of standing in solidarity, more often than not, Asians stick to the philosophy of let’s not mind other people’s business. That.Is.Not.Enough. It’s time to show up for our Black siblings. If you don’t know how, I’ve
  • Connecting back with the travel space, I want to share with you my personal list of inspiring Black female travel influencers that I think you should support too. I say “travel influencers”, but really they are influential beyond that. I’ve learned so much from each of incredible queens. Keeping the list at 5 so you can really go stalk their profiles, hear their stories and let them blow your mind with wisdom. 1️⃣ @glographics I’ve followed Glo for years now, seeing her transition from one of the biggest travel bloggers into an entrepreneur. She is a BAWSE. Tenacious. Genuine. Funny.
  • Last #TravelGramAtHomeChallenge from me. Shot this awhile ago but put a pause on sharing since we had bigger things to discuss. . I tried to recreated this colourful closet in India in front of my own closet. You’d think it’d be easy, but I had to think hard on how to display all the pieces and fill up the frame. It was fun though digging through and finding clothes I haven’t seen in awhile. I have collected some vibrant gems over the years. Should have an Instagrammable closet sale lol Who wants to go shopping in my closet? • •
  • Back in February, I was super excited to announce my very own wellness retreat for the first time. I was going to take a group of women down to the magical land of Costa Rica for some Yoga, healing, and fun adventures. Unfortunately, this year is not the right time. . Here is to share that the November 2020 Blessing Bucket retreat is officially postponed until next year, dates to be re-observed. Thank you so much to everyone who expressed interest in joining this event. The dream is still alive! I will work hard to make it happen for you
  • Did you see my last IG TV video explaining why the #VogueChallenge is so much more than an art trend? If not, go check it out now. I dive deep into American Vogue’s history with colourism and underrepresentation. . I wanted to continue the fascinating topic and share my research on how Asians have been represented at Vogue over the years. Long story short, we are nowhere to be seen. American Vogue has been around for 128 years, and yet, there had not been even one solo Asian cover star. A big fat goose egg zero on the report card,
  • Happy Canada Day! This time last year, I just finished an epic 2 weeks road trip in the Canadian Rockies. The turquoise lakes, dramatic mountains, endless blue sky all left me in awe. . How different things are this year I am enjoying the beautiful view of my bedroom walls. It’s been 4 months that I have stayed home and I do miss traveling a lot. I hope to start taking some small road trips around the country when it truly feels safe again. ☺️(Yes I know the government is allowing things to reopen but that does not mean it
  • MY NEW ONLINE INCOME STREAM . I haven’t been very active on socials lately because I’ve been working on my new job. I’ve shared in the past how I make an income teaching English online. Well, recently I found something even better. It’s called Outschool and it is a platform for small group learning for kids 3-18. . On this marketplace formatted website (much like Airbnb), you can offer to teach whatever you want. You’ve got anything from traditional academic subjects such as Math and Science, to quirky classes like Minecraft, Harry Potter, pet caring, wilderness survival, and knitting. I
