Sunday, 25 June, 2023

Vignesh Babaiah was born in Bengaluru and grew up in Hyderabad. Raised in a close-knit Telugu family, he was constantly surrounded by family and friends, who showered tons of affection, care and love. He went to graduate school (Computer Science) in 2013 at the Northwest Missouri State University and has worked/lived in several states across the US. He has been in Dallas since 2016. He says that it has been an interesting journey to find himself, form his identity in the LGBTQIA+ community and learn how to embrace it every day that he exists. He has learnt to make his own traditions, unlearning and relearning ways of approaching life. He is grateful to every person, situation and feeling that made him who he is and all that which is yet to come. Please note that this is a segment that aired on Radio Caravan, Dallas, on June 22, 2023, to spread awareness during the Pride Month. It doesn't have his entire personal story and is just a small excerpt from his journey, but the full interview will follow.
