But for real,
I spent 20 long years climbing up the corporate ladder to achieve dream I was sold. I compartmentalized every facet of my life until I was just a shell of a person reaching for commercial success. In 2023, when I stopped shrinking, stopped faking, and started speaking my truth, my world as I knew it broke, and I relied on my gut, my internal compass, and my collective community to keep me going. What I found on the other side of this traumatic and transformative year was the power of healing and moving forward with real purpose. I know I can guide individuals and companies towards the same. We just need to show up radically to shift the status quo.
I am so lucky that two amazing children call me Amma, and I have a wonderful husband to share my hopes and dreams with. My parents immigrated to the United States in the late 1970s, and I was born in Chicago, as a first-gen US Citizen and first-gen college grad. I am Malayalee American, and I have an immense, deeply rooted, spiritual connection to Kerala, my native land. I am here to break the cycle of my own generational, ancestral trauma as well as current societal systems.
Listen up,
Systems in corporate America and across the world were not built inclusively. I have directly witnessed the impact of this - and I use my superpower as an empath and activist to bring historically excluded, racialized, marginalized, and stigmatized people along with me. With a stellar finance and strategy background, growth mindset focused on continuous learning, I acknowledge my own privilege, and am spending my life in pursuit of a more just world.
