<div>As an artist and third culture kid, I, Rani Cheema, am on a profound journey of self-discovery and cultural reclamation. My soul and Punjabi heritage are converging at this pivotal moment. My path has led me through diverse landscapes – from design academia to spiritual awakening and channeled art.

</div>
<div>For too long, my Punjabi heritage was a distant echo, overshadowed by modernity, assimilation pressures, and my Puerto Rican family roots. Now, standing on the threshold of a transformative experience, I am inspired by the resilience of my ancestors, the artisans and craftsmen of Punjab.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I have been given an incredible opportunity to attend an artists' residency in Punjab with <a href="https://www.cocoaandjasmine.com/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Cocoa &amp; Jasmine</a> <strong>However, I urgently need your support to make this dream a reality. I need to raise $6500 by September 20th, 2024, to secure my place.  UPDATE! I GOT AN EXTENSION!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>Stretch goals - $1500 + for flights or a sponsored flight from Delta would be great manifesting that ;)</strong>

</div>
<div><strong>I visited Punjab was in 2009 with my dad.</strong> It was a journey to see the land where he grew up – a rare experience for children of immigrants. I stayed at my grandmother's farm for two weeks. Despite the language barrier – she didn’t speak English, and I didn’t speak Punjabi – I felt her love and excitement to finally meet me, her eldest son’s first child.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My dad is about to sell the land, making this residency one of my last connections to Punjab. After the residency, I hope to visit the farm one last time before it is sold.
