How does it feel to receive the Vanithabhimana Award, and what does it mean to you personally?

Receiving the Vanithabhimana Award was both humbling and deeply meaningful. It felt like a quiet acknowledgment of years of unseen effort - the late nights spent creating, learning, and giving my heart to the purpose I believe in. For me, this recognition is more than a personal milestone; it reflects the journey of every woman who has ever dared to rise above limitation. It reminds me that success is not built on perfection, but on perseverance - and that grace, courage, and authenticity remain the most powerful forms of influence. Most importantly, it’s a tribute to the women and young professionals who have walked this journey with me - those who believed in their potential even when the world didn’t. My work has always been about helping people evolve - not only professionally, but personally - because transformation begins within. “To me, this award isn’t a destination; it’s a reminder that when you rise with purpose, you lift an entire generation with you.”
