My Story
Hello,
My name is Sonya and I am the founder of The Color of Us. I am a 1st generation Indian-American and a 3rd generation Irish-American. I love to travel and study various languages from around the world.
​
Growing up in a multiracial and multicultural family, my parents created a home that blended many of their cultural traditions and created space for me to explore my identity as a multiracial individual in the 21st century.
​
While I felt content in my identity at home, in the larger society I struggled to find multiracial and multicultural representation. Additionally, I also struggled to find peers that share similar identities and experiences.
​
By creating The Color of Us, my goal is to foster connection, increase opportunities and evoke conversations that raise awareness about the experience of multiracial and multicultural youth in our society.
