Amba Raghavan

“It’s Okay to Not Be Okay” — The statement I live by, and coincidentally, the name of my favorite K-Drama. :)

Hi guys! My name is Amba Raghavan, and I am a first-year Tufts/SMFA Combined Degree student, planning to major in Fine Arts and International Relations, and minor in Entrepreneurship for Social Impact. Growing up as a first generation Indian-American in Nebraska (yup, the corn state — which I say with utmost love) was a strange experience to say the least, but one that has driven me to study topics such as community isolation, cross-cultural stereotypes, and international community building through my artwork in Boston — one of the most diverse cities in America! I cannot wait to share this amazing journey with you all, while simultaneously binging all the latest K-Dramas, stuffing my face at Carmichael, and trying to find my way back to Hill Hall :).
