![Resist the depoliticized, sanitized, ahistorical King.
In this celebratory moment of King’s life and death, we should be suspicious of those who sing MLK’s praises, yet refuse to pay the cost of embodying King’s strong indictment of the US empire and racism in their own lives.

![Meet Mohanjeet y’all. This last summer I spent a hot minute in Paris shooting a documentary about her.
Two years ago while backpacking I met Mohanjeet— a baddie/fellow Punjaban who disrupted the Parisian fashion landscape in the 60s. Her Indian-centric aesthetic was creating with the intention of shifting the idea of Indian garments being “cheap” while challenging simplified dichotomies of a “modern” vs “traditional” woman through clothing. You all already know the politics of fashion are my cup of tea, and I was ecstatic.
But the story shifted— when I asked her why she started her label. “Survival,” she said. And then followed a month of exploring themes of South Asian womanhood & expectation, the meaning of Home as a diasporic subject, and identity: the ultimate work in progress.
Here we are looking reaaal cute on our last day of shooting 👯♀️ [Documentary Release: TBD— but any interested souls, from editors, music makers, etc— shoot me a line 🍦] #ADIMAY](http://scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com/vp/bfbfea51b3858260062cc153862fa13f/5CF523EA/t51.2885-15/sh0.08/e35/c179.0.721.721/s640x640/49538204_289628661752460_5147304384855105677_n.jpg?_nc_ht=scontent-ort2-2.cdninstagram.com "Meet Mohanjeet y’all.
