Lilly Singh Instagram – Happy Diwali 🪔 May your day be filled with love, light and beautiful community. On community… 👇🏽
I’m still buzzing over Love & Light: A Royal Affair, my 5th annual Diwali party in LA. Every year, I have one goal: foster community. I’ve gotten older and seen the world encourage us to isolate and divide, I’ve really put an emphasize on building safe spaces for people to come together and feel a part of something. I truly believe community is the medicine we all need.
So yes, the party is so over the top and I spend an entire year planning it (we already know I’m extra! 💁🏽♀️) but it’s because I’m so passionate about celebrating togetherness. And I feel like I’ve always put so much effort into my career and projects, so I’ve really tried to match that energy into my friendships, family and circle. Seeing people, making memories and building safe spaces takes work, coordination and effort, but it is so beyond worth it. Don’t convince yourself otherwise.
I also love introducing people to Diwali, who may not be as familiar. And every year, I get told things like “this was my first Diwali and I cannot wait for next year!” Or “I’ve never felt so safe and joyous at an event before.” These things mean the world to me… because when I first moved to LA, not many people I met knew much about South Asian culture. And now, Diwali is officially a recognized holiday in California 💪🏽🙏🏽
And I simply could not throw this beast of a party without the help of a very amazing team. I cannot co-sign them enough:
