Let’s remind you of your incredible power!
Hi, Payal this side!
'Don’t make mistakes, avoid them at any cost. Don’t answer back, maintain the peace in the room. Keep a smile on your face, no matter how you feel inside. Give all your time to academics, nothing else matters.' Ah!
I followed those rules diligently, ticking off each box dutifully. Yet, despite my efforts, I found myself sinking deeper into a dark space. Until one day, my mind and body said, 'Enough.'
Isn’t this life supposed to be ours? Then why did it feel like everyone else had more say in it than myself?
Growing up, I was the shyest kid you'd ever meet. So shy, in fact, that my grandma once thought I couldn’t even speak (FR)!
Raised by a single mother, I learned independence early, staying home alone since the age of four. Focused solely on academics, I left my hometown at 17 to chase my dreams in NYC. But amidst the pursuit of my ambitions, I began to realize that no one ever taught me how to navigate through my emotions, how to pick myself up when things go wrong (because they inevitably do), or how to keep my head high and try again, day after day. I learned the importance of knowing when to take a break.
And here I am, determined to share my journey and insights with you. I want to be the voice that reminds you to believe in your inner strength. If the shy girl from a tiny town in India can stand before you today as a keynote speaker, having journeyed from her homeland to the vibrant streets of NYC, then I know, without a doubt, that you can too.
