life through my lens

I’m almost finished with my blog post about my most recent New York visit, and I keep coming back to this photo. One of my best cousins and one of my best friends, who have themselves become great friends to one another. They bring so much joy and light to my life, and I loved this time we were able to spend together 💙

Continued the birthday celebrations last night at the Shell. Couldn’t have asked for better company or weather | #ilovememphis #choose901

Blurry birthday besties, because there’s no one else I’d rather spend this day with. I’m excited to see what this next trip around the sun brings for us both 💙

I am so grateful for these ladies, for this city, and for a weekend getaway to celebrate 30 years of Alex Middleton 💙

Look who is back to work today! I have learned so much from her these last 5.5 months about resilience and strength and determination, and I am so grateful that she is able to return to doing what she loves. Shoutout to surgeons and nurses and therapists and all the healthcare heroes who have helped along the way, and a special shoutout to her for being a badass | #mamaswami

I got everything unpacked and on the shelves and will now live with it for a few weeks to see how I feel. My initial thought is that I love it and will never leave this room again | #VeensCastle

I know it wasn’t for everyone, but I have been waiting 3 years to get a photo of my house looking like this | #veenscastle

Today my Indian-born mother and I watched as the first woman and first person of Indian and Black descent was sworn in as Vice President of these United States, and we cried all the tears. Tears of joy, of admiration, of relief, and of hope, because we are so excited for today and tomorrow and all the tomorrows yet to come 💙

16 days ago my brother called to tell me my mother had slipped and fallen and they were on their way to the ER. By the time I got out there we had the confirmation: she’d broken her hip.
