Amma's WhatsApp video crackled with monsoon sounds from Chennai. She held up the kolam she'd drawn, fingers stained with rice flour, eyes bright despite the distance between us. My Toronto apartment felt suddenly small. She'd sent fifty dollars through the family network last week, quietly ensuring my cousin's wedding henna artist got paid. That's how we move money—through trust, through love, through bonds no bank could measure. Watching her smile, I realized our heritage wasn't preserved in museums or formal ceremonies. It lived in these stolen moments, in Amma's determination to keep us woven together across continents, in the invisible threads connecting our diaspora back home.
