We begin by sharing how recent increases in rent, interest rates and groceries have impacted us personally and how we’ve changed our spending habits to adjust.

In this episode of the Level Asian podcast, we're joined by content creator, Tara Chandra, who peels back the curtains of her life as a fashion and lifestyle influencer.

Tara shares how a passion for Tumblr sparked her artistic journey, how she uses fashion to showcase the different parts of her identity and the power of manifesting your wildest dreams. Tara also opens up about how traumatic experiences with chronic eczema gave her the courage to speak out, in hopes of normalising conversations around skin conditions and beauty standards.

She then discusses her values towards ethical and sustainable fashion, learning from iconic pioneers, and the need for representation both in front of, and behind the camera.
