Anjulie was born and raised in Oakville, Ontario, Canada and is the youngest of four children. Her parents are from Guyana but are of Indian descent, her grandparents having immigrated there from India. Anjulie's background and what she calls her "racial ambiguity" led to isolation while growing up; in middle school, she said, "the black kids would be on one side and the white kids would be on the other... so I would mostly hang out by myself and write". However, though "it was hard that [she] didn't fit in", she decided to embrace her differences and was driven to "carve [her] own niche".
