The
What is the most potent misconception
that people have about you? Music and microfinance. Why the interest
is such fairly divergent circles?
Either that I’m serious (I’m always
playing around, as people who follow
me on Instagram have probably seen)
or that I’m very confident. I was
extremely shy as a kid, music was the
only place I felt more able to articulate
how I felt. I am still a very shy person
by nature which surprises people
who have seen me perform live. I think entrepreneurship and music
have both been my passion. At 17, I
knew I wanted to make a change to
women’s lives through providing them
the access to funds they wouldn’t get
otherwise. I’m proud of everything
I have done with Svatantra and the
growing success of our clients is
proof that they can achieve so much
if they are given the opportunity.
