Currently I am: Bouncing between shoots and packing another suitcase.
High point in life: Honestly, every time I get to do what I love without compromising who I am.
Low point in life: There have been phaseswhen things weren’t moving, when the pressure got loud and when I questioned whether my voice even mattered. My family, my community reminded me that growth doesn’t always look glamorous, but it’s always worth it.
On my playlist: Afro house, Florent Hugel, Rampa.
One thing I would never buy: Faux-hair thongs from Skims.
Today I’m craving: A long hug from home and a giant bowl of pasta.
Last thing I ordered online: Winter basics.
App I check before going to bed: My Google calendar.
Advice I’d give my 18-year-old self: Stop shrinking to fit tiny boxes. Dream bigger, wear the outfit, take the shot.
My favourite subject in school: Art.
I’d swipe right on: Ambition.
My secret skill is: Making last-minute looks look like they were planned for weeks.
A magic tool I wish I had: A way to clone myself. One for shoots, one for mum life, and so on.
My favourite Sunday memory: Going to Matheran as kids and taking 5am horse rides.
My plans for next Sunday: Furniture shopping.
My most star-struck moment: Meeting Leena Nair, the global CEO of Chanel.
My favourite bad habit: Overpacking.
If I could travel back or forward in time: I’d go a little ahead. Just to meet the woman I’m becoming.
The best thing about fame: You get to sit at tables you once only dreamed of.
The worst thing about fame: Everyone has an opinion about your life.
