Sisters Across The Water

I am Indian. I came to America with ambition and a suitcase full of my mother’s recipes and my grandmother’s expectations.

I built the life that looked right from the outside. The house. The career. The beautiful daughter who makes everything make sense.

And still — I needed someone to talk to who wouldn’t flinch at the real version.

Marie Clara doesn’t flinch.

I write about fashion because I refuse to disappear into beige.

I write about love because the real conversations happen between women, never in them.

I’m still figuring out the rest. Aren’t we all. ❣️
