Yes, I’m Brown. Yes, I’m Queer. Yes, I’m Bold. And I’m Just Getting Started. 🌿✨

For years, I shrunk parts of myself to fit into rooms that were never built with me in mind. A South Asian boy in PR, navigating queerness, culture, and identity — always told I was too much or not enough.

But Yes, And changed my language. I no longer edit myself to belong — I expand to become.

Being part of sheamoistureca Yes, And campaign is more than a moment — it’s a mirror. A reminder that I am layered, loud, soft, healing, thriving — all at once. That self-acceptance isn’t a destination — it’s a daily ritual. One I honour with every curl, every word, every boundary I protect.

This isn’t just about hair care — it’s about soul care. It’s about showing up fully, fiercely, and saying: Yes, I am all of this. And that’s my power.
