Hola! My name is Navya and I’m a 3rd culture kid. My entire life I’ve been told I’m too western by the Indian community and too Indian by the western community! But who cares about fitting into one?! I have a unique outlook on life with my experiences. I enjoy dancing, writing and photography. And am currently studying psychology to become a dance therapist!

I think it’s awesome that A television series wants to showcase people who are different from the norm. As an Indian woman with psoriasis and multiple disabilities, this is what we need.

I think I could inspire the disabled community. I suffer from Hypermobility Syndrome; A type of physical disability. As well as ADHD. As a dancer it’s been difficult to survive with one, let alone multiple disabilities. But I’m pushing through it and fighting for disabled representation. Not to mention I’m a woman of colour so I could fight for the issues my fellow ladies and coloured folks face.
