<big>Born in Toronto, Canada to Sikh Punjabi immigrant parents, living a life rooted in belonging for her means embracing her imperfections, loving hard even though she's had her heart broken a bazillion times, and embracing all aspects of herself — the good, the bad, and the ugly. It means taking care of herself so that she can live her best and give her best to others. It means wearing funky clothes, dancing it up to Bhangra and Soca music, and laughing really loud.</big>
