Tori dives deep with Deepti about being an Indian born makeup artist raised in Elmhurst, nyc. Growing up in a single mother home in an environment that didn't know or care that she existed. And she's not just speaking about the schools she went to, or the neighborhood she grew up in. It also included her home. She was the second born girl in her family - the unwanted child. Her oldest sister was the important one and younger brother, the golden child. Her mother wanted to switch her at birth with her male cousin, a story her aunt told her when she was a teenager. This aunt also took the time to tell her she was born a nothing. It took Deepti a long time to reconcile the nagging feelings of feeling inconsequential to her family, feeling like the useless one while her family tried to convince her otherwise.
