as an indian girl who grew up with sm hate i used to cry myself to sleep everyday wishing i was white, nothing makes me happier than seeing such a talented successful indian woman who represents the culture so beautifully

[@milah344]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@f_r_e_d]

Hope you've learned to accept yourself. Plus Indian girls have beautiful complexion!

[@MusiqTruth]

Your most authentic self aligns most closely to your purpose in this world, my friend. There is only 1 you and the world is better for it. ✌🏿

[@simplyyjhez]

its crazy how the tables have now turned, and society wishes to be anything but white

[@tatiana_2566]

I’m not Indian but it’s so refreshing to see such a creative Indian woman embrace her heritage while making beautiful music. I’m in love with her aesthetic 💜✨

[@tatiana_2566]

@anger & rage I know that 😫🤦🏽‍♀️ When did I ever say she was singing Indian music? I mean she incorporates Indian culture into her videos while simultaneously singing beautiful soul/R&B music. I know the difference between R&B and Bollywood lmao!

[@tatiana_2566]

@anger & rage yah its okay. I just mean she sings soul music but also adds things from her culture. Its still very much R&B without a doubt.

[@tatiana_2566]

@anger & rage and plus I'm Black, I grew up on soul/R&B I would never say some dumb shit like that lol.😂😂

[@neoprincess4258]

anger & rage when did she say that?

[@milah344]

i agree with my whole heart.

I am a single Father of 3 dauhgters who are my World,my Daughter who I call Foofoo (Andrea) wrote you and told you that she loved your Daily Affirmations on Tumblr...to say that I Appreciate you writing her back a handwritten letter with such positive words is a Complete understatement,life has not been easy for my girls yet they find such beauty in it and its shimes through them so even at my low points they lift me up and give me the Strength to continue to fight for them each day..Idk if youll get the chance to read this but I also want other people to know that you took the time,you cared,and in a world where we celebrate and make some not so nice and unworthy people famous its so refreshing to know that once in awhile we get things Right and follow Good People..you now have Two fans for life,and for what its worth Friends as well...Thank you so much:) A Father:)

Winding down The evening Record on repeat A little wine Caught in my apartment Not that rain is falling But we need time You're milk and honey A drink I drink before bed Don't you feel lucky That we can end the day like that? Milk and honey Warm and lovely Milk and honey Warm and lovely Love you make me feel it Fantasy world in my room Six doves flying over Waterfall falling through my roof We are water and roses I need you like I need air Spoonful of sugar My cup is fuller when you're there Milk and honey Warm and lovely Milk and honey Warm and lovely You're honey You're honey

[@joshmuraahi2107]

A beautiful song. Love the lyrics too. Amazing artist you are Ravina. 🙏✌️👍❤️♥️😍

[@feelingpeachy5967]

The divine feminine energy in the vid is beautiful 🥺💖

[@Lofzoovd]

I am an Indian woman like Raveena, and I can not stress how proud her footprint is making me. The reason being is because I did not always feel excepted in the part of the world I live in especially working in a very so-called professional field. I see her shine so bright! no darkness can undermine or blow out her flame that she is continuously willing to burn!! KEEP THIS UP RAVEENA I am extremely proud!! Much love and a shout out to people whom felt out of place like me at times, things will get better. They always do :)

As an Indian girl, you are the most inspiring indian queen I’ve seen in the industry for me and I was so excited when I found out you are from India!! I’m so glad I found you ❤️❤️ ✨(you’re def gonna blow up)✨

She effortlessly made the 80s and early 90s Bollywood melodies and styling (that westerners love to make fun of) super cool again.

[@Facts-Over-Feelings]

SHES DOING BLACK MUSIC NOT INDIAN

[@miriamshah4151]

I think they were always super cool.... who cares what other people think

[@yanibear9833]

this is black american music, not indian. this sounds a lot like r&b or soul. which arent indian genres lol

[@tatiana_2566]

Idk if this is what she means but its clearly R&B but she added some Indian sounds to it. Like the very beginning uses an Indian instrument but it's still very much R&B throughout 95% of the song.

[@CMONCMON007]

They were always cool. Westerners who made fun have no taste

[@crichy]

This song is a form of self care. My aura just switched from navy blue to yellow and gold :)

[@Nani-0613]

I've come across this artist before because of my sister in the past and I love how it's someone embracing herself her culture in parts of herself that a lot of us will either ashamed of or we try to hide and don't want to embrace I'm glad that she actually is her music is amazing her style is pretty dope like her music style is very unique the way she films her music videos are incredible she is just an iconic gem
