A cynical optimist. A dreamer. I care a lot.

 

One of my life's interests is to proactively address the world's injustices. The other is to reach a level of inner peace, tranquillity and understanding of oneself in relation to the complexity of the world. Both seem highly contrary, however there must be a way to achieve both.

​

Unsurprisingly, I work within the field of Environmental Philanthropy (definitely hard to type – definitely not what my Panjabi family had in mind for me).

 

For my justice work, I am a strong advocate for Intersectional Feminism and Inclusive Climate Action.

​

For my inner work, I am interested in Mindfulness, Mental Health, and Identity.

 

Family, love and life are topics I have much perspective on. Experiencing a somewhat unconventional and turbulent childhood, I am a big believer of the importance of people to see beyond their own experiences in order to empathise with others. The the only way to do that is to connect with people different to you, so I hope that by sharing my perspective you will either have some food for thought, feelings of solidarity, or a new understanding. 

​

I love flowers, bold colours, nature, blue skies, and fitness and health. I tend to think creatively, so I am excited to see where this project takes me. It will definitely be a cathartic one where I can hopefully connect with people on things we all would normally feel alone in.
