Our Mission
Turning Heritage into
Living Stories
We're immigrant parents who refuse to let our heritage fade. Our stories shouldn't just be told, they should be lived. That's why we give every child a hero's seat in their own history, turning cherished traditions into stories they'll never forget.
Origin Story
We're two immigrant parents who watched our kids know every Disney character, but not their own stories.
When one of our daughters used a fictional character to process her big feelings, we saw something powerful. We wondered: What if her hero looked like her? What if her hero celebrated what we celebrate?
We knew technology could bridge this gap. So we built HugsNSmiles—where AI meets cultural storytelling, and kids go from spectators to stars. They don't just hear about Diwali or Holi; they step into the story as the hero. Because culture shouldn't feel like history class. It should feel like magic.
Thank you for choosing HugsNSmiles, where stories and culture comes to life!
