  • We talked to my mom about what it was like when Anjali came out, meeting Sufi for the first time, how she talks to conservative family members, and more!
    Anjali's mom is an Indian immigrant living in the US, with extended family in India and Canada. Note that her advice to kids coming out to their parents is based on her experience when Anjali came out. If you live in a country or home where it may be unsafe to come out, remember that it's okay to wait to come out when it's more safe to do so.

    Video description for the visually impaired:
    Three women sit on a brown leather couch in front of a white wall. Sufi, on the left of the screen, has shoulder length black hair and wears a black turtleneck. Nandita, Anjali's mom, sits in the middle. She has long curled brown hair and wears a striped black and white shirt. Anjali, on the right side of the screen, wears her collarbone length black hair straightened and wears a black tee shirt.The women take turns speaking and look at each other and the camera throughout the video.

But what makes this even more amazing is that she's got brains to back up that beauty, she's such an amazingly intelligent woman! She's well spoken, articulate, non judgemental, & so wise. What a human, what a human I say. You're so lucky to have her as a mother.

    Anjali's mom and Sufi are the Leos I aspire to be lmao. I need chill, confident vibes for 2020, man. That party Sufi went to all shy but ended up having a great time by the end of the night with Anjali's mom? Goals.
    But no yeah, I was so taken aback at how chill her mom was. As a WOC, I'm stressed as hell at the prospect of my entire family and community knowing about my sexuality. I'd be cool with just a few knowing, though I know they wouldn't be 100% comfortable or supportive, but everyone? Nope. Couldn't do it.

    Love the video❤️ however in my opinion I’ve noticed desi parents who aren’t born in India are definitely more open minded so that’s why I feel she is more understanding, I hope we can see more desi parents in the future embracing their children
