So I was born in London.
I'm Indian.
And my parents are Indian but from East Africa.
And so I lived in Zambia when I was younger, lived in London.
And we moved to the U.S.
in the late 70s.
And it was very American Dreamtime, right?
And my parents moved a few years before I did.
Not intentionally.
They thought they were going to come and figure out, America, where to live, what to do.
And they had the idea that they would move to Los Angeles and open car washes.
That was really the idea.
And Los Angeles really was picked instead of New York or New Jersey or a lot of other places that had a lot of Indians.
was because my dad really wanted to recreate that Africa lifestyle.
Climate, weather, ocean, amazing things for him in Tanzania.
And so Los Angeles was it.
And I'm very thankful to him.
This beautiful 80 degrees that we're living in March is great.
And that was really kind of come to America, American dream, opportunity.
And at that point, we were living in London and my parents moved.
