Vivian Atsumi Stewart 

   Hello! Thank you so much for visiting my blog/podcast! I’m Vivian (she/her). I’m currently a junior at Wellesley College in Wellesley, Massachusetts, majoring in history with a South Asia focus. In 2021, I graduated from the Juilliard Pre-College Division in NYC as a classical trumpet major.

​

At the time, I had been studying the ancient Indian language Sanskrit in addition to my musical pursuits. I was profoundly inspired by the spiritual insights in ancient Sanskrit texts like the Mahābhāratam, as well as great classical works by Mahler and Beethoven. In my free time, I enjoyed writing about the interesting of these music and spirituality, and its potential impact on politics and culture. 

​

Since then, I've developed a passion for filming, and have started my own YouTube channel - 'Vivi Atsumi'. I now spend most of my time, reading, writing and making new videos. The videos are based mostly on poetic and cultural reflections.
