Blended Faith: As a daughter of a Hindu mother and Christian father, I have had the privilege to experience the blending of two cultures and religions. As a kid, I was oblivious to the differences, and always saw all festivities being celebrated with a multicultural flair. The peaceful coexistence of two ideologies in my home has been very transformative for me. Saying rosary prayers to Mother Mary on Wednesdays with traditional henna on my hands did not feel unusual, but just a part of my blended faith.

Creativity to me is the ability to take fleeting visions, images, feelings, personal experiences, and turn them into tangible creations. It is the ability to preserve those ideas forever, instead of being lost or forgotten.
