A unique perspective of my purple

My grandmother's sari hung in my closet for years, that deep purple she wore every festival. Living in Toronto, I'd documented it countless times, never quite brave enough to wear it. Then I posted a video showing her teaching me the pallu draping technique, and something shifted. Strangers who missed their own mothers' traditions connected instantly. Comments poured in from others navigating diaspora identity. That single video transformed my relationship with heritage. Now I wear her purple proudly, and others see themselves reflected. We're finding each other across continents, stitching our stories together, remembering home through each other's eyes.
