Abraham Family Brings Fame to Sacramento

cleverAlready for the last few years, Tanishq Abraham has been in the limelight in Sacramento for being a child prodigy, at 13, making national news for being accepted as a UC Davis student.  But now it seems his sister Tiara is getting in on the act as well.

Tiara Abraham – Tanishq’s 12-year-old sister – can not only sing in five different languages but is also one of the youngest (if not THE youngest) students at American River College.  Thus her invitation to perform at Carnegie Hall – having beaten hundreds of others in an international singing contest – might not have come as much of a surprise to her family!

Indeed, according to Wikipedia: “Tanishq and his sister Tiara are the youngest South Asians (by ethnicity) to join Mensa and among the youngest Americans in Mensa. To join Mensa, one needs to score in or above the 98 percentile on a Mensa-approved standardized IQ test. Tanishq scored 99.9 percentile and Tiara scored 99 percentile on the test.”
