MY STORY

MY EARLY YEARS

1986 - 2004

I was born in Nagpur, Maharashtra. But my ancestry is from Tamil Nadu, the southern part of India.

I spent 8 years of my childhood in Oman, a country that formed an eternal bond with my soul.

"I am Indian by blood, but Omani by heart."

When my family moved to Dubai, I struggled to fit in. Add to that, my father's escalating narcissism.

Overnight, I grew up and became the protector.

AMERICA & FINDING MYSELF 

2004 - 2011

Hands down, coming to America changed my life. Thank you Mom for supporting my right to a college education!

I resonated with America's fierce and unapologetic individualism. There were no wrong questions. 

Here in America, I was one of the most popular students on campus, heading teams at the biggest organizations, and had a bright future at the United Nations. I could be whatever I wanted to be.

DECADE OF PAIN

2011 - 2020

Lost my only sister to alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma, an extremely rare form of cancer.

Had an arranged marriage with an Indian doctor who turned out to be a violent psychopath. 

Managed to escape the marriage with the help of American neighbors; only to be abandoned by my narcissistic father and relatives.

Fought and won my divorce case with only my mother as support.

RISING FROM THE ASHES

2020 - Present

Now in Dubai, I sought solace in Islam. In August 2020, I became Muslim.

Focused on re-building my health, my CV, as well as my social and professional networks. 

Capitalized on social media. Harnessed my power as a public speaker to reach a wider and global audience. 

Decided to invest and expand on my Arabic, to better engage my Arabic-speaking members. 

Given my strong intuition, linguistics, and natural rapport with different cultures, I decided to take advantage of Dubai as a global financial hub. I entered the world of business and diversified my investor portfolio.

Today I am sought after for my expertise in navigating GCC socio-cultural dynamics, analyzing market trends, and negotiating US-Gulf partnerships. I am a global inspiration whose words empower others to become more resilient, compassionate and courageous to pursue their dreams.

Once upon a time, I was told that a woman's place is below a man's feet. Now thousands listen to me every week on my platforms. People across the globe reach out to me. They say they can't even start their day without watching my videos. Their lives have completely changed because of me.

That is the power of belief in self and belief in God. 

You not only transform yourself. You also transform others.

I Believe…

  • UNIQUENESS IS A GIFT:

    To be different is to be extraordinary. When you have the courage and conviction to embrace your uniqueness, you will realize your true calling in life.

  • THINKERS ARE MASTERS:

    It is not important that one knows everything. What matters most is being open to asking questions and persevering for the answers.

  • SPIRITUALITY IS A COMPASS:

    Spirituality forms the core of resilience. A life empty of spirituality is mere existence; one that is devoid of purpose, meaning and the will to struggle.

  • EMPATHY DRIVES THE WORLD:

    Compassion is the highest form of life. Regardless of one's beliefs, everyone needs a little more kindness and a little less judgment. Spread love, not hate.

  • ASSOCIATE WITH LIONS:

    Your company dictates your growth. Know your worth and level up. Lions move with lions.

  • YOU ARE YOUR OWN SUPERHERO:

    Nobody will hand over power to you. You must unlock that power within yourself and wield it, so that you become a force to reckon with.

  • DIVERSITY IS BEAUTIFUL:

    The world is exquisite because of diversity. Life in all its different hues forms the essence of human exploration, intellectual curiosity and creative pursuit.

Being Popular DOES NOT EQUAL Being Successful

I was a complete loner in high school, who drifted between lonely classrooms and my father's narcissistic rages at home.

I was overweight, almost 190 pounds at only 5'4'' tall.

My sister was being bullied and I would get into fights with her tormentors.

The high school supervisor used to pick on me constantly, to the point that she said, "Leadership wasn't in my blood." Despite my good academic track record, she vetoed me out of being a Student Prefect.

I didn't even have someone to go with me for my graduation farewell dinner. Out of desperation, I teamed up with another loner and pretended to be friends.

And yet, here I am today. A powerful voice that has established her own identity and uses that to empower others.



SO IF I CAN DO IT, SO CAN YOU!
