as Tamil artists we have to work 10x harder no matter what country we are in , just for half the recognition. but thats ok…. being underestimated has led us to making some of the greatest art on earth. and we will continue to do just that 💪🏾.

the reason people have a problem with cultural appropriation is not because you are appreciating their culture as an outsider . its because you only show up for the celebration but never the suffering.
