Now that I have your attention by reminding you of Princess Jasmine, please keep reading. For so many reasons, India holds such a special place in my heart. My parents were born in the state of Punjab and my childhood consisted of trips that took 21 hours in a plane and then 9 hours in a car to visit their family. I’ll never forget my first trip to Mumbai as a YouTuber, when so many of my wildest dreams came true meeting my Bollywood heroes. Aside from that, through partnerships with various charities and organizations, I’ve had the privilege of meeting young girls across the nation and learning about their life experiences. It was in India that I was named a UNICEF global goodwill ambassador. Ill never forget when I performed at YouTube Fanfest Mumbai with the worst fever of my life, in front of the sweetest crowd. It’s in this beautiful country that I continuously meet people who impact me for a lifetime, from riskshaw drivers to artists. And it’s in this country that my bittersweet relationship with a McSpicy paneer burger exists because ya girl is a pansy with spices but still orders it because it’s amazing. All this to say, this pandemic does not affect everyone equally. In places like India, it’s almost impossible to practice social distancing. Please join me the #IFORINDIA concert on May 3rd at 7:30pm IST/ 10am EST / 7am PST. We’re raising funds for the COVID response fund set up by give_india. Link in bio to donate. This is my second home and often times, feels like my first. Any help is appreciated ❤️ love you India! 🇮🇳
