Sneha Rao is a first-generation Hindu American immigrant to the US. She moved to the US when she was 13 with her parents. Sneha worked as an Engineer and Data Scientist in the Aviation business for over a decade before transitioning to study Hinduism, Yoga, Hinduphobia, and Decoloniality.

She deeply examined the ways in which American culture can be harmful to Hindu children and really started connecting to her Hindu roots.
