In this powerful episode of Footprints & Impacts, we speak with Renu Bakshi, a former journalist and anchor, who now works as a media trainer and crisis manager, about her deeply personal experience with Multiple Chemical Sensitivity (MCS).
Renu shares the challenges of living with this often misunderstood and invisible disability, including stigma, lack of support and the struggles she’s faced both personally and professionally.
Despite these challenges, Renu has transformed her experience into advocacy, using her platform to raise awareness about MCS and fight for better understanding, accommodations, and support. From her work in human rights to the crucial role the media plays in elevating awareness, Renu offers valuable insights on how we can all be part of the change.
Tune in for an enlightening discussion on the intersection of environmental health, workplace inclusion, and the urgent need for greater empathy and understanding of MCS.
