Main Kaun Hoon
They say authenticity is the highest frequency and lately, I’ve been feeling blocked
I spend so much time locked into this app and I realized I wasn’t being me. I was restricting myself.
I was afraid to dox this part of me, not because I had anything to hide, but because I’ve heard the racist comments, in spaces, & in VCs.
My upbringing was UNIQUE —Im mixed & have a mixed family
So I didn’t quite fit the “traditional” mold and I wasn’t fully accepted IYKYK
Being indian already comes with pressure—
All I wanted was freedom.
No expectations.
Just vibes, charts, and sh*tposting
But somewhere in all that, I lost the culture part of me.
I’m also tired—tired of the propaganda constantly pushed on social media about India, the way indians are portrayed… the stereotypes… the mockery.
But the trenches changed me.
CT has a way of toughening you up.
I built thick skin.
And with that came something beautiful—
I stopped giving a f**k
For the longest time, I focused only on crypto, not myself.
Because I thought the moment people knew I was Indian, the stereotypes would come flooding in.
But the more I stayed quiet,
The more a fire started burning inside me.
A voice that wanted to speak up.
To defend
To claim space
I’m done hiding
I’m done shrinking
Brown skin, mi familia Latina , desi roots
I walk between worlds—and I own all of it
This is me. Kiddah (what’s up)
