Twenty-five years of Meera. 🎂 I had the honor of photographing this miracle woman — a TBI survivor who moves through the world with more grace, strength, and grit than most of us can imagine. Her parents @deven_parlikar and @qaqueen2000 are old friends, and their love for her is the kind that restores your faith in everything. 🤍 Happy birthday, @meeraparlikar . What a gift you are #survivor #MEERAaward #specialmodel #photography #inspiration
