Break the Barrier
Hailing from traditional South Asian roots, I took on a nontraditional path with my passion project missioned to increase representation in mainstream media. Throughout my modeling journey, I've been blessed to be part of modeling campaigns for brands such as Express Fashion and Maison Margiela to walking the runway for New York Fashion Week and covering it as Press.
As I grew my platform, I realized so many of us are hesitant in taking that leap of faith because we don’t have visibility to the mentors or guides that we can look up to, ask questions to, or be our support system. As a result, many of us default to the traditional careers that our parents consider successful - but we may be left feeling unfulfilled. I want to take this mission to the next level and introduce successful and happy powerhouse voices in our community who are breaking barriers by pursuing full-time careers outside of what’s traditionally considered successful.
For our younger, current, and older generations: it is never too late to start again or dream a new dream. My mission is to show in a fun, lighthearted way that you can absolutely find happiness in a path less taken. This is my baby: Break the Barrier

Let's Talk Launching a Skincare Brand with Moumita Sahoo, Founder and CEO of ZAILA Skin
In this episode, I am thrilled to be speaking with Moumita Sahoo, founder and CEO of Zaila Skin, an ayurvedic skincare brand that fuses the power of ancient Indian botanicals and clinically proven actives to create a fun and effective skincare experience for all skin types. Zaila products are vegan, cruelty-free, and follow the Clean at Sephora standard of formulation.
As her story unfolds, we will highlight how she started with an unhealthy relationship with her skin which drove her to make a difference in the South Asian beauty space. Her “why” is for Zaila to be the fun, skin-positive beauty brand that young girls like her needed growing up .
