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

Beyond Coconut & Spice with Rene Subash: South Indian Malayali Chef & Viral Sensation Food Blogger
I’m so excited to be speaking today with Rene Subash, a South Indian Malayali food blogger whose cooking videos have been a viral sensation. She’s on a mission to make authentic traditional recipes less intimidating and more fun. Based in Liverpool, UK, Rene shares recipes passed down through generations of her Indian family, all while showing that South Indian cuisine doesn’t have to be complicated to be delicious. Her approach is all about breaking things down, keeping it simple, and making traditional cooking accessible to everyone. We’re excited to dive into her story, her tips for stress-free cooking, and, of course, learning about her from a lens we can’t just see on social media. Let’s dive right into it.
