Tanvi, who held legal artist visa status, documented her experiences through viral comedy videos about American politics, which attracted both support and a wave of online hate, racist threats, and even reports to immigration authorities. Her identity as a Brown woman immigrant made her a frequent target, and after a serious doxing attempt, Tanvi chose to leave the U.S. despite her achievements and dreams. Watch for details
