From Gal Gadots Wonder Woman to Ruby Roses Batwoman , female superheroes are beginning to reflect greater diversity. But for Sanjana Nagesh the founder of popular Instagram account, BrownGirlGang (BGG) theres yet to be a superwoman the Indian-Australian can relate to.

Its for this reason she recently made an online callout to BGGs 66,000 followers, asking them to illustrate and send through their own interpretation of a South Asian superwoman.

Forming part of an artwork series that will launch on International Womens Day on March 8, Nagesh said each illustration depicts the skin tone, facial features, body shape and fashion of South Asian women around the world.

Growing up, I never had a role model in mainstream media who represented dual cultural identities like being Indian-Australian, the 23-year-old told HuffPost Australia. So Im always so inspired by those women who are now shining on a global scale who are trailblazers in their field.
