"In December 2014, I started drawing because it helped me deal with all the thoughts that were floating in my head, and helped me love the fat girl that I had become," Thangiah told BuzzFeed.
"What's upsetting about body images issues and shaming in South Asian communities is that the effects of it don’t get discussed, everything gets swept under the rug," she said.
