anyone who knows me knows how PROUD I am to be Sikh and how Sikhi has shaped my life; in recognizing our oneness, in striving to be fearless & confronting injustice, so this award truly means the world @thesikhawards 🥹🙏🏾😭❣️ I started modelling at 18 and my plan was to give it a year so I could save some money to put towards my university fees. back then it was incomprehensible that someone like me would ‘make it’ in the industry so I didn’t even allow myself to entertain the idea. I didn’t fit in. I didn’t know anything about the fashion world. and I definitely didn’t feel good enough to be a model. I’m a normal working class girl from Coventry. and I felt completely awkward, shy & unattractive - which I sometimes still do thanks to imposter syndrome (just keeping it real)! to be recognised for my work truly fills me with gratitude.. especially when the journey hasn’t been easy. from the early stages of my career I recognised the importance of representation, so if I can make even ONE person feel proud or happy or represented, then I feel like I’m on the right path 🧡 thank you to the glam team bc it takes a village hahaaa !! the most beautiful outfit: @farazmanan photos: @indysagoo hair: @hairbyninanikol makeup: @moomalproartist jewellery: @messikajewelry brows: @sophiabrows & special thanks to my sis @chandnimodha_ for everything and my TEAM/my right hand/my riderzzz for having my back and supporting me unconditionally, wouldn’t be able to do it w/o you @archnasawjani @mannyuk @christycoleman__ @dolapoten @fae_grp
