"I love skydiving. Yeah, there's risk. I've had a couple friends die this year, but you can't live your life in fear."

"What's your favorite thing about this festival?"
"Just how close everybody is. There are families, and groups, and communities all here together. The spirit of family is everywhere."
“What is your favorite thing about yourself?”
My desire to bring out the best in people. To motivate them to be their best selves and to expect that and nourish that anyway I can. I do that my communicating, calling people out when they’re not being authentic, exploring and prodding them. When someone isn’t giving their best effort at something, exploring why they don’t care in that moment. Setting healthy boundaries. Asking what I like from people instead of being too guarded to be vulnerable.

"I find meaning in exploring my feelings through the lens of symbolic and archetypal arches, and began realizing that the very tales and stories that had filled my childhood hadn’t done such a good job of equipping my young self to navigate real life experiences - What if your dream isn’t just a prince? What if you don’t really know what you’re looking for? The “Jump and the net will appear” preachers didn’t really help either. A lot of time, we jump, and the net doesn’t appear, and we fall, and it hurts. Or the net catches us, but we then realize it wasn’t the right net. Unfortunately, we don’t make Instaquotes about those cases. The thing is, by abiding to the societal pressure of always having to seem as though we have it together, we don't leave ourselves much room for not knowing, searching, and taking the time to feel out what feels good to us -which to me is the most crucial part of any pursuit; the part where we really grow. Children pick up on that. They learn those standards from us."

“My favorite aesthetic is wearing the same pattern from head to toe. I love that. Maybe from my roots in India, maybe with MIA. I just love how it looks. I think it’s very holistic. I also love when my whole band is wearing the exact same outfit. I think it’s unifying and very symbolic. I also love the boldness of the outfit. I love black and white and one other color, which for me is always yellow. I love the androgyny of it. The idea of women exploring their femininity or women exploring their masculinity is so beautiful because it’s mutual love for the yin and yang, for what you don’t possess, for what you aren’t."

“What’s one of your favorite things about yourself?”
“My heart. I used to think it was a weakness when I was younger but now I realize it’s one of my greatest strengths. The willingness and the ability to empathize with someone and connect is a huge thing.
“When people talk about you what do they say?”
“They probably would say I work hard. And maybe that I should work less hard and just be. We’re not human doings. It’s easy to get caught up in the doing. It’s a lot more of a challenge sometimes to just be. This has been be my opportunity to realize that.”
“What brings you joy?”
"My nieces and nephews, looking at plants, the ceremonies I do with wauchuma, it’s heart softening medicine. It subtly shifts my perspective."

It felt like spring today, warm and gloomy and rainy.

“What’s your relationship with death?”
“I still feel like there’s stuff for me to do and that it’s important for me to be here. I don’t know my 100% passion but I know teaching is a part of it. I love that feeling when someone comes up to me after class and feels empowered. I like to draw, it almost feels like being connected to God. I feel it in my heart. I feel a spiritual element passing through. I draw crosses, Ganesha, native american symbols. I started working with a medicine woman about a year ago. I feel like the medicine told me before I was diagnosed that if I take another persons medicine it could make me very sick. I think it way saying if I took the radiation it was going to make me very sick. That may work for other people but I don’t think it was for me. Sometimes we try to help people in a way that harms them instead of letting them learn their lesson. We want to protect somebody instead of letting them have their choice.”

"When I was 24 I was in a city I didn’t want live in, separated from the man I did want to live with, and writing a book I didn’t really want to write. I couldn’t seem to touch the bottom of the sorrow pit I had fallen into, all because I had 'followed my dreams' - not like a cute, hesitant fairy; more so like a bulldozer. Even though I had done my positive affirmations like a good student, I sat alone and uninspired in my cold Berlin apartment. I had played, and I thought I had lost.
Now don’t get me wrong, I do believe people should listen to their inner voice as closely as possible and go in depth with their sensitivity. But I feel like the way we go about the journey of pursuing our dreams doesn’t give uncertainty enough credit, doesn’t value doubt as a way to discover what could feel good, and as a result, leaves us feeling like failures when things aren’t exactly clear-as-day and magic-filled."

“What is something that you’re passionate about you?”
"Blowing people’s minds."
“How do you do that?”
"I make potions that people aren’t used to seeing, like a traditional Swiss Absinthe, using organic herbs and alcohol."

Amma. She does the largest amount of work. She takes care of our WHOLE family. She is the one who took me to my 19th year without getting me into any of those serious trouble, drugs and so forth. She is the one who cooks the most delicious biriyani I have ever tasted. She is the ONLY woman in my life. She has dedicated her life and work value for me and my life. May Allah bless her a billion times. Happy Mother's Day to my mother, my Amma. Amma, আমি তোমায় ভালোবাসি! #vscocam #makeportraits #mothersday #standupcommunity
