Meeta Gajjar Parker was born in America to parents who were born and raised in India. While pursuing a recording career as a vocalist, she worked as a professional clown for four years. Growing up as a minority and inspired by how her parents raised her to hold on to Indian values and tradition in the United States, Meeta portrays the importance the clown race puts on preserving its unique culture while living in America where many customs different from their own prevail. She also highlights the emphasis clowns place on kindness.  Meeta’s love for children led her to create “Cookie the Clown” in order to entertain and uplift while sharing her beliefs and feelings through imaginative reality.
