I grew up in a very full household with lots of cousins. That was my first village, though I didn’t realize it at the time. In my early teens, I made three wonderful friends—one of whom I ended up marrying. The other two are still part of my inner circle. In college, I made more friends, and when I got married, I added some of my husband’s friends to my village.
Later, we moved to Singapore, where I found lifelong friends. Even though we all moved across continents, they now live in the same town, very close to us. After moving to Boston, I added more people to my village, including friends who share my love for literature and music.
Then, Anand’s diagnosis brought a whole new set of amazing friends into my life. The 100 Saree Pact happened, and suddenly, I found these new connections. Desi Moms Network is the perfect blend of all these experiences. My life is a testament to what a village can do for you. When I started building this community, I knew what I didn’t want, and my village taught me what we all need.
I am fortunate to have the opportunity to talk about Desi Moms Network and why it’s different from many other support groups. I’m very honored to stand next to some incredible women.
