About the author

I couldn't find any space online that celebrate positive images of dark-skinned South Asians so I created one. This is also a space to celebrate the South Asian diaspora and people of Indo-Caribbean descent who also face colorism. Audre Lorde said, "If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive." I refuse to be crunched into other people's dehumanizing fantasies about me. I refuse to be eaten alive. I am a dark-skinned South Asian who needs to see representations that reflect me. Here are images, voices and stories that document I am not alone.

Anonymous asked: How might we see more of YOU? :)

lololol …. everyone’s sharing has invited me to also share more of me (and your question pushes me further to do so, anonymous). i had absolutely no idea what this space would become in just a few days. i’m with more limited internet access now, but i promise i’ll share more of me soon <3
