“Each generation adds to the legacy of its ancestors. When people lose sight of their cultural roots, ancestry and personal heritage, they lose sight of their true identity. I believe culture is the gateway into our humanity, as it emphasizes the unity in our diversity.”

I believe in ‘Vasudevham Kutumbakam,’ like the message of WHCC, the World is one family, being a cultural ambassador embracing the individuality we all have, accepting each as we are, and joining forces with the message of WHCC in preserving, promoting, curating this uniqueness be it arts, food, fashion, and philosophy has been my holy grail. Our message of cultural identity, tolerance, and inclusiveness are the pillars of our humanity, they shape us and help us build stronger posterity keeping us connected to our heritage.
