How does being adopted out of your culture alter your sense of identity? Powerhouse @ruchipage talked about her life with so much candidness and vulnerability, going into her journey where she channelled her experience into modelling. Ruchi was born in Calcutta and adopted as a baby by white Australian parents. We talk about cultural identity, whether she's curious about her birth parents, how her adopted parents supported her through experiences with racism, and making waves as a curvy model of colour.
