First time hosting the red carpet at the South Asian Film Festival and I still feel like I’m waking up from a dream 🪬 💭 

It was my first time being around so many filmmakers, actors, actresses, and getting to see how the independent film process unfolds. After having conversations both on and off camera, I’m so inspired by the grit, the passion, and the collaboration (not to mention the blood, sweat, and tears) that go into making a film. I’m in awe of everyone I met ♥️

One thing held true across all the filmmakers I interviewed: they were inspired by their own stories and wanted to create art with impact - art that starts conversations and drives change

I love the dreamers
I love the doers
I love the people who wake up and choose to make a change - those who use what’s in their hearts and their histories to stir dialogue

I hope this isn’t my last time among so many passionate storytellers. Kudos to everyone recognized at this festival. Your work earned every spotlight. Wishing all of you success as you chase your passions and follow your dreams 

Lastly, from the bottom of my heart, thank you jam_with_jigs and amtrna for believing in me. 🙏🏽 You both know I would have been perfectly content handing out name tags so getting this opportunity was a true, true honor ♥️

💃🏽 I’m so excited to be speaking today with Harini Nilakantan, an extraordinary dancer, movement artist, and choreographer whose journey spans continents and traditions. 

🥇Based in Chicago, Harini has spent over 20 years studying styles from the classical elegance of Bharatanatyam to the electric energy of Waacking, Hip Hop, and most recently baby-stepping into Chicago Footwork.

💃🏽 She has headlined World of Dance twice, is the lead choreographer for Movement of Desis, a competitive dance team in Chicago, and Program Head of Dance at Kalapriya.

🥇 What I love about Harini’s story is how seamlessly she moves between worlds—whether it’s her early debut in Bharatanatyam, her championship title at RedBull Dance Your Style, or her work building spaces for South Asian artists to thrive. Beyond performance, she’s a teacher, a leader, and the founder of a collective that pushes dance forward while staying deeply rooted in heritage. 

💃🏽 Today, we’ll talk about her path, the communities she’s building, and how dance can be both a personal expression and a powerful force for representation. Let’s get into it!

Welcome, Harini!

To reach Harini for mentorship, her email is: harininilakantan@gmail.com

🎧 What does breaking the barrier mean to Adharsh? Trying to do things outside your comfort zone, and finding representation in places we may not have thought to be represented ✨

🎙️I’m so excited to be speaking today with Adharsh Kumar, the creative genius behind Not Your Amma’s Kitchen—an Instagram sensation that’s redefining how we see South Indian cuisine 🇮🇳 

🎧 Through his stunning videos and down-to-earth approach, Adharsh invites us into his kitchen and his heritage, proving that cooking is not just about recipes—it’s about identity, connection, and reclaiming the flavors that shaped us. Whether he’s sharing a family heirloom recipe or putting his own spin on a classic, Adharsh is blending tradition with modern flair, making sure every bite—and every story—feels like home. 

🎙️Today, we’ll chat about his journey, the stories behind his dishes, and how food can be a powerful way to honor your roots while carving out your own path. Let’s get into it!

Welcome, Adharsh! 🤗

He can be reached via Instagram notyourammaskitchen and emails nyak@sparkmedia.la + notyourammaskitchen@gmail.com for mentorship

Story time: You never know where stepping outside your comfort zone can take you—even if it means feeling scared and going solo 🧿🍸

Last September, I headed to New York Fashion Week to cover a runway show as press. I didn’t know a single soul there—and it turned out to be the same show where Nigel Barker’s daughter was walking. Despite having no +1, I took the plunge, knowing it was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity I couldn’t pass up

At the show’s finale, I summoned every ounce of courage, approached Nigel, extended my hand, and introduced myself. Was I terrified? Absolutely 😅—but I told myself these chances don’t come around often, so I set aside my insecurities and went for it

Fast forward almost a year, and he not only remembered me—he invited me to the launch party for his new bottled espresso martini, thebarkerco. What a full-circle moment ⭕️

Point being, connections sometimes spark instantly, and sometimes they brew slowly 🔥—but they won’t happen unless you show up and strut into those rooms, high heels and all 👠😉

Huge thanks to nigelbarker for having me, and big congrats on the espresso martini—so worth breaking my no-alcohol streak for! Can’t wait to host events and shake up this new favorite 🤎🥂

What does breaking the barrier mean for Aparna? Redefining success on your own timeline ✔️✨

I’m so excited to be speaking today with Aparna Shewakramani, a South Asian author, speaker, and unapologetic voice for women choosing to live life on their own terms. You may recognize her from Netflix’s Indian Matchmaking, where she quickly became a standout for her honesty, self-assurance, and refusal to settle. Since then, Aparna has sparked global conversations about modern dating, cultural expectations, and redefining what it means to be “too much.” As the author of She’s Unlikeable, she dives deeper into her journey—sharing raw, witty, and powerful reflections on love, ambition, and identity. We’re excited to talk about everything from navigating public perception to embracing individuality and power.

In this episode we cover: 

✔️✨ The role of honesty in representation, navigating public perception, and reclaiming your narrative with grace

✔️✨ The journey of writing a memoir 

✔️✨ Her future endeavors in storytelling 

✔️✨ The impact of social media on perception and leveraging it to amplify your voice 

✔️✨ The importance of rest and incubation 

✔️✨ Navigating fame and its challenges, including dating while in the spotlight 

Thank you so much Aparna for coming on the show and breaking the barrier. She can be reached via Instagram aparnashewakramani for mentorship

Should’ve used a wooden spoon, but I was too hungry after the gym lol 🤷🏽‍♀️ The freeze dried dal tadka from the_cumin_club has been a tried and true recipe for me where I add in some Greek yogurt + basmati rice at the end for extra protein (~25g total). This meal is perfect for a post workout that tastes delicious and is ready in just a few minutes 🥰 

So excited to try out the rest, especially the other high protein options like paneer bhurji (18g protein)!! Thanks Cumin Club ☺️

Sometimes living in NYC feels like a lifetime ago, but I was thinking back to what a privilege it is to try something new and take a risk, even if it doesn’t end up becoming the final destination. When one door closes, another eventually opens 🥰✨

What does breaking the barrier mean for Milan? Being loud in a space that didn’t allow that for us ✔️✨

I’m so excited to be speaking today with Milan Mathew, a force in the beauty and content world who’s redefining what it means to shine in your own skin ☀️ . From bold makeup looks that celebrate melanin-rich tones to scroll-stopping TikTok and Instagram reels that mix humor with heart, Milan brings color, confidence, and charisma to everything she does - so much so that she just released her feature with Vogue India - an incredible win for our South Asian Malayali community!  👏🏽 🇮🇳 

But behind the camera, Milan’s journey is one of self-discovery including solo traveling to Thailand 🇹🇭 to learn Muy Thai, creative risk-taking, and learning how to embrace her voice in an industry that wasn’t always built for people who looked like her. 

In this episode we cover: 

✔️✨ Her journey from working in corporate for 11 months, experiencing virality on Tiktok, and taking the leap of faith to going full time in content creation

✔️✨ The role of management in content creation, navigating brand deals, and advice for aspiring creators 

✔️✨ The spark of solo travel and lessons from her four months abroad ✈️

✔️✨ Support from her family, especially as she became featured on Vogue Magazine!! 

✔️✨ Reflections on a five year journey and future projects including an ebook, group coaching, and her own future fashion line!! 👀

Thank you so much Milan for coming on the show and breaking the barrier 🙏🏽 She can be reached via Instagram milan.mathew and website milanmathew.co for mentorship

Growing up, I always wanted to be a teacher. After experiencing the perils of learning math from my Indian father, I leaned on my teachers as mentors - so much so that I was the kid that would go into 7 AM office hours just to hang out with my calculus teacher because we became besties 😂 (and we still keep in touch on Facebook 🤞🏽) 

I continued to toy with the idea of going the academia route in college to becoming a professor. The teachers that stayed in my mind and heart were the ones who inspired me, and I knew in this lifetime I wanted to do the same 🧿 When I met with my Dean at my university to ask for his advice, he said one thing I can do is get industry experience and then teach on the side. This felt like the fairest compromise 🙏🏽

Fast forward a decade later, life gets to come full circle ⭕️ This year is all about new experiences, with nothing weighing down my shoulders, and going in on my dreams

It was an incredible experience hosting my first live session for Break the Barrier and having audience members learn from some of the kindest, best, and brightest creatives in the Chicagoland area

Special thank you to the_cumin_club for sponsoring our goodie bags, chiyachai for letting us use their venue, and for each incredible human who was on the panel giving away coaching calls for their craft

Thank you for believing in me
Thank you for trusting this vision
And most importantly, thank you for being my tech support 😂♥️

This is just the beginning 🧿

For tastybite ✨ God is so good 🧿 

Feels surreal to think that there was a time my parents would feel so scared to open the windows when they were cooking Indian food because of the aromatics, and now a full circle moment is seeing an Indian girl eating Indian food for a campaign that gets broadcasted on mainstream American platforms like wholefoods walmart albertsons and jewelosco . I just feel like the luckiest girl in the world and I hope I make my people proud 🥹 🇮🇳 

Take this as your sign to take that leap of faith and go after what sets your soul on fire 🔥 You can achieve anything you set your mind to 

If you’re in the Chicagoland area, come to our live podcast show this Saturday from 12-2 PM where myself and other creatives are doing giveaways for coaching and sharing our stories. Info to RSVP is in my stories ♥️ Don’t miss this chance to take a chance on yourself

To the girl who has the most contagious laugh, been my tech support, listened to me vent and had my back through some of the most slightly minor inconveniences 😂, & whips up a healthy, protein-packed feast that makes it hard to eat out because there’s delicious food at home - you deserve the world.
