BLOG: I am a mother. I am a leader. I am a feminist. I'm an activist…And I'm a citizen of the world that's got a lot of curiosity about the world

A conversation about the power of sarees, creating your wellbeing toolkit, and singing over Zoom.

Co-founder, Poppy Jaman’s spoke with ampersand mag, about her her childhood and teenage years (“a struggle”), her forced marriage, and her subsequent depression diagnosis. Topics include the power of community: how that had saved her in ways back then, and how it still is a prominent feature in her life today.

“I'm a 4’11’’ British-Bengali, little tiny brown woman.” Her mission is clear: she wants to be a role model for other women and show them what they can do through what she has done. We talk about not diminishing your achievements, and “being brave, not perfect.”
