Vijaya was born in Guyana but moved to Long Island as a child and has yet to visit Guyana since. Growing up and going to school in predominantly minority communities, but apart from the larger Guyanese community has had a profound impact on how she has viewed her identity as an Indo-Guyanese woman and the world at large. She is passionate about writing about her experiences as an Indo-Carribean woman and about all the things she loves like books, movies, science, sports and art.
