00:01I think I'm delicate in my choice of words, because once you put those words
00:07into the universe you can't take them back.
00:12People tell me when they first meet me that I can come across very intimidating,
00:16but I'm really into like a big twirly skirt, I like petticoats, I like poofiness.
00:22I have a very healthy, well-tended inner child.
00:25I think people perceive a DJ to be like a very social person,
00:29but I really enjoy my quiet time.
00:31I come off a little bit too hardcore sometimes,
00:34but I'm very in tune with spirit and soul and just loving and caring.
00:40Sometimes I have a hard time with my words,
00:42but I think my true expression comes out when I'm building something with my hands.
00:47I get really inspired by the blend of my two cultures,
00:51which is being Indian and Canadian,
00:53and it really keeps me going to create something new and powerful.
00:57My style is extremely 1950s inspired.
01:01I just dress for comfort, I love a good pair of sneakers and a big t-shirt.
01:05Your attire is your protection, it's your armor, so every day I'm dressing to show everyone,
01:11hey, here I am and I've arrived.
01:16I love challenging myself, I just love proving myself wrong.
01:21I feel that I am powerful with my voice, I'm powerful in the way of existing and being,
01:27and staying true to just that.
01:28Some people are lights, and some people gravitate towards the lights.
01:33My mama says I'm a sparkler.
01:35Baguas means nonsense.
01:37My mom would always be like, oh, what is this book loss that you're always doing?
01:41But then if what I'm doing is like book loss, then like essentially you're telling me that
01:45everything is book loss.
01:47I am doing whatever I want to do.
01:50As long as I bring joy to myself, that's kind of my compass.
01:55My work has taught me that I'm a very complicated person and emotions are real.
02:00Every move I make, especially in business, is all about taking a risk.
02:04I mean, I still have an extremely vulnerable side, but I'm very, very strong because of it.
02:09You have one life to live, so take that jump.
02:11You never know where the leap can take you.
02:13There are those moments that you find yourself and all the question marks fall away,
02:18and those are the moments you follow, and those are the moments you chase.
