It’s a constant reminder that the universe is limitless and meant for everyone,” Dia said.

I consider myself an empowered, independent woman whereas Kainaaz is spirited but comes from such a background of conflict and disempowerment that it was so important for me to understand the mindscape and the landscape of her journey,” Dia said.
