Opinions and musings about:
The industry that you work in: Well it's fun! it's getting competitive as hell but I honestly love what I do and enjoy waking up every day to come to work and create something beautiful and valuable
Sisterhood (what does sisterhood mean to you now that you wish you knew 10 years ago?): To uplift, support and love each other with no conditions and no judgments, basically just being there for each other. Being your sister’s keeper should be a reflex. Sisterhood knows no boundary, no race, no class or geography. Sisterhood transcends and it transforms us for the better. Sisterhood is from the heart. We as women need to be more kind, patient and empathetic towards each other, because if we don’t help each other, who will? And if not in this time, then when?
What have you learnt from disappointment? To be better, to try harder but sometimes to just let go, of all the expectations and things and situations that are beyond your control and just be! It has taught me to be more in touch with myself by looking deeper and most importantly it makes me feel more grateful for what I have.
On love and kindness: The bread and butter of humanity
What’s beauty to you? I think beauty is how you treat other people, people you know and people you don't!
On routine: Growing up in an army background, routine is something I am super used to! It gives my life a lot of discipline and structure while keeping me motivated to be better every day!
On city living: Well, I am coping up! It's more like a professional hazard! If not for what I do, you would find me in the mountains (enjoying a glass of wine by the river)!
The future is: Personally and professionally, I am excited for what's in store but really worried about where our country is heading, politically!
