———————
As children of the diaspora, we are taught to become doctors or engineers but to be an artist, is to be defiant.
Yet, we carry their work with us — in our lehengas, our jhumkas, our embroidered khathas, our mehendi — tangible expressions of our daily lives that allow us to pay homage to our culture but we let them become overshadowed. These are the symbols of our communities, our true selves, yet we veil our passions — fearing that if we fully engulf ourselves in the arts, we might just fail.
———————
This world, our art, it tells stories. Our cultures, our compassion, and our legacies are born from these narratives. So unveil yours- pick up that camera, that paintbrush, and let the music embrace you. Even when fear embeds itself in your mind, run- run to yourself, your passions, your truth. #TheUnveiling ———————
