Every single person on this planet exists because of a missed period. And yet we still design our schools, our workplaces, our economies as if menstruation is an inconvenience instead of a predictable biological fact.

In India, an estimated 23 million girls drop out of school the day they get their period. In the US, 1 in 5 girls miss school because they don't have access to a pad.

This isn't a "developing world" problem. It's an infrastructure problem.
What would change if we stopped treating periods as a personal inconvenience and started treating them as an institutional responsibility? 

Earlier this year I gave a @TEDx Talk at @iit_gandhinagar about exactly that - "The Infrastructure of Dignity". Link to full talk below! 

(Thank you 🙏 to the many friends who helped shape this talk!)

This kid. Man…she had no idea what was in store. One month shy of 20 years, today was my last day at Edelman. Grateful for lessons learned, interesting opportunities and, most importantly, the colleagues who became friends(missing so many in this carousel) and know I have WAY more embarrassing pics than what’s in this post 😂 taking a little break before embarking on another wild adventure POUND CPAINTOGREAT

Happy International Women’s Day! This collage of the women of South Asian Trailblazers made us 🥹

We’re so honored to have shared in the stories of these incredible women. Each unique and empowered in her own right, yet still blazing new trails for not just our community, but for women everywhere 👏‼️💫

This #WomensHistoryMonth, we’re celebrating the South Asian women — founders, nonprofit leaders, artists, polticians, executives — who made the impossible inevitable, who broke down doors and built new tables so the rest of us could follow. 

If you’ve ever needed proof that it’s possible, it’s in these stories, in these women. Tune in to hear their incredible journeys on South Asian Trailblazers, available on all podcast platforms 🎙️✨
