In the 2021 Down to Brown finale, Lahari talks to Christine Chitnis, writer, photographer , and four-time author. We anchor our conversation on her book "Patterns of India: A Journey Through Colors, Textiles, and the Vibrancy of Rajasthan". We start with her love story with her Indian husband and how it sparked her appreciation of Indian culture and stories. We then cover what it means to be working through your identity as first-generation vs. as interracial parents, raising multiracial kids, the South Asian male identity, masculinity as experienced by women, and more!
