'Brown is not a racial category - there is no census document that says that. But brown has always been viewed as migrant - especially here in the US. Now we are seeing women especially using brown to mobilise and take ownership of their narratives.'
Image captionThere's a sisterhood emerging on Instagram and it's one made up of young women from around the globe who proudly identify as"brown girls" - but just who are they and what is it that they want?
"I was scrolling through Instagram and kept discovering women like me doing amazing things, together with a lot of fusion going on where our rich South Asian heritage is being mixed with common pop culture - leading to some amazing creativity. I wanted to show that off." "I wanted to create something cool but that was different and would speak to people like me. It needed to be something that tapped into this mixture of eastern and western culture that the young desi generation has access to. We're interested in pop culture and mixing up everything that's modern with our traditions."
