December 11, 2014Born in India, raised in Alabama and Kansas, and based in Chicago, Anjana Raj’s background is a confluence of differences, much like the diverse clothing featured on her blog, Bangle Banger. Launched in March 2014, Bangle Banger is a diasporic Desi style blog that took the Internet by storm with its fearless and creative blend of desi and American fashion.
In addition to featuring creatively draped silks and crop tops, Raj shares insightful commentary on how style can be a political statement for women of color. As a psychology and computer science graduate, her passions of understanding identity and technology come together in the thoughtful blog.
