As proud community partners with , we are very excited for their first annual Shero's Rise Summit: The Butterfly effect - Evolve HerStory on October 14th, 2023 at Los Angeles Trade Technical College. Tickets are available at their website, link is in 's bio!
Shero’s Rise began as a conversation between two mothers over a cup of tea. Sonali Perera Bridges and Margaret Buckley discussed how they needed to teach their girls more than the basic curriculum taught in schools in order to help them to feel confident about themselves, teach them the importance of their voice, while also being respectful, how to deal with their ever-changing emotions, and how to make informed choices. Shero’s Rise focuses its mission on building a girl’s self from the inside out. If she was equipped with the self-esteem, confidence, reliance, grit, tenacity and fire to know who she was, then she could equip herself with her own invisible cape to either pause in a moment of hardship or learn how to fly higher than she ever thought was possible.
"The Butterfly Effect" is the idea that small things can have a big impact on large complex systems.
The Summit will allow all participants to be a part of the conversation on how the data regarding women and girls impacts them personally, what meaningful change matters most to them, and how they can help be a part of the solution for the women and girls in their local community.
If you are interested in becoming a vendor at their women's marketplace and a sponsor to support Shero’s Rise, visit the link in 's bio to secure a spot today!
Make sure to follow and to get your tickets for this phenomenal event!
Here are some more awesome shots from the event hosted by where our founder was awarded his Lifetime Achievement Award! 🔥🙌🏽
A HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to our very own founder, pioneer and entrepreneur on being awarded his Lifetime Achievement Award. 🙏🏽❤️
“Thank you Anokhi Media and Raj Girn for this incredible token of recognition - A Lifetime Achievement Award! Thank you Raj for shining a light on our community and for continuing to uplift and empower our South Asian community around the world.” - Sammy Chand

“American Girl's latest "Girl of the Year" is a spunky Broadway-loving dancer and singer -- and also the popular doll line's first-ever South Asian main character
Kavika Sharma, Kavi for short, was unveiled Thursday as American Girl's 2023 "Girl of the Year." Unlike other American Girl dolls, "Girl of the Year" dolls are based on modern characters with contemporary stories, rather than those based in American history
Though Kavi is the first South Asian "Girl of the Year," she is not American Girl's first South Asian character. In 2009, Sonali Matthews, who was at least part South Asian, was introduced as a companion character to that year's "Girl of the Year," Chrissa Maxwell.
Since "Girl of the Year" launched in 2001, there have been three other dolls of Asian descent: Jess McConnell, who was half-Japanese, in 2006; Kanani Akina, who was part Japanese-Hawaiian, in 2011; and last year's Corinne Tan, the first Chinese American "Girl of the Year."”

What an awesome Thursday as @kanikachaddagupta had @iamkellyhughes on @thatstotalmomsense! You’ll never know who’ll appear on @rukusavenueradio. 👏🏽 If you haven’t heard of her already, model Kelly Hughes is making waves as the FIRST model featured in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue to show off her C-section scar. 🙌🏽 Kelly Hughes started modeling over 20 years ago with Next Models - her mother agency. In 2009 work slowed due to the recession so Hughes began working part-time in a restaurant and noticed her manager had a stack of bracelets on his wrist. She went home that night and out of a determined spirit and a God-given talent she made her first bracelet that would launch her jewelry line, HÜES. With word of mouth, she sold over 200 bracelets, launched her first store Base (on Lincoln Road in Miami) and now has her unisex jewelry collection worn by celebrities including JBalvin, Ricky Martin, Chayenne, Zion y Lennox, Alicia Keys, Maxwell, Young Thug, and many more. 🔥 Tune in TODAY at 1PM PST/4PM EST only on the @rukusavenueradio website or the free @dashradio app. 🎙 #rukusavenueradio #podcastnetwork
