YOUR WORTH AND YOUR APPEARANCE DO NOT OPERATE IN TANDEM. It doesn’t matter if you have stretch marks on your breasts or cellulite on your legs. It doesn’t matter if you weigh 105 or 221. It doesn’t matter if you have dark spots on your face or flawless skin. If you’ve gained weight, you’re still a valuable human being. If you’ve lost hair, you’re still a culpable human being. If you’ve acquired stretch marks, you’re still a valuable human being. Anything happens to you at all, you’re still a valuable human being.

I have a deep desire to help women love themselves. I am hosting a conference in October to do just this! Click the link in my bio to sign up for more information. I love you!
I love making deliberate eye contact with strangers because no matter their history, I can feel their soul. It feels like deep communication without having to say a single word. It’s the same reason I don’t eat animals. I cannot take for grated the connection I feel when I look into their eyes.

What I wear doesn’t label me,
Doesn’t decide who I am,
Doesn’t allow for you to judge,
Doesn’t mean I’m open to commentary,
Doesn’t mean I am willing to be trolled,
Or bullied or even made a mockery of,
I could wear whatever I want,
To wherever I wanted to,
And my hemlines don’t decide,
What my character is,
Nor do they define my choices.
No do my necklines,
Decide where my ethics lie,
I am not some object,
To be pitched as a means of pleasure,
You can judge me all you want,
But the reality is far from your perception,
While you berate and demean me,
You choose a path that isn’t fair,
But if I remember right,
I am not someone like you,
I am not regressive,
I am not pathetic,
I won’t respond to being trolled,
By being a troll myself,
I won’t shame because I was shamed,
I won’t bully because you bullied me,
I won’t wish you horrible things,
Nor will I curse your children,
Because an eye for an eye,
Isn’t my style,
I won’t stoop to the same level as you,
It’s pathetic if I have to use hate,
To fight hate,
To use your own regressive thinking,
To try and change it,
I have lost the war,
If I fight the battles like this,
So I will rise above if you will,
And try and call you out,
And show you that you’ve erred,
That your judgement is faulty,
That you are clouded in your thinking,
And that this path will only cause you doom...

In response to the incident that happened the other day with the girl and the woman and their interlude. This poem reflects how I feel about it and the fact that it angers me from all sides of the issue makes me realize we are far from evolved and are so narrow in our mindsets. .
Hoping for a better world and for a saner world that doesn’t wait viciously to go for the kill! .

Feminism is not about blindly supporting the sisterhood. It’s about helping one another unlearn years of patriarchal conditioning and relearning the woke ways of true feminism. Not everyone has had the same opportunities or exposure and we must learn to acknowledge and understand that while we gradually try to help such people. It won’t be comfortable and it won’t be smooth but it needs to done.
Call them out, don’t try to Cancel them. There’s a difference!

When you’re surrounded by love in its most powerful form - strength, connections and belonging. .
Such stories here and so bound by the Sarees we drape. Could I have asked for a better birthday gift than this? .
I think not!!! .
These women are such examples of grit and gumption and I got them both in more than just a frame. .
@sareesandstories @maudgalkadam to shared experiences and stories! .
@houseofmithila Thank you for hosting us in your beautiful store surrounded by the beautiful Sarees! .

A storyteller who travelled to far lands,
An artist who paints from her soul,
A designer who works with old weaves,
An entrepreneur who’s making a movement,
A craftswoman who makes art of her bags,
And a wandering soul,
What happens when they meet?
Magic, of course!
Driven by conversations,
Pushed by the love for all art,
Soaking in and soaking up,
Reveling in the company,
Raising their glasses to a toast,
For a beautiful future...

Meet these amazing, accomplished women! They are the epitome of all things attainable and they exude warmth and confidence. They each work in amazing spaces carving out a space for themselves.
.
There we were with plantain leaves in front of us filled with food, our banter and our laughter filling our souls. We spake about all kinda of things and we connected over so much! .
This is the power of women who are there and power women. They are off of the journeys and they take pride in those around them. This was ya brought together by our love for the six yards and more. Thank you @anubharadwaj and @unfactory.in for making this happen and thank you @sareesandstories for coming to our ooru and sharing the love... .
