If you've ever faced rejection in your life [which is almost inevitable] you know that it can become debilitating and all consuming - throwing us into feelings on unworthiness, self doubt and we often question who we are - our identity!

Lalitha is no different.

But what is inspiring about Lalitha; is her transformative approach to facing rejection and learning to reclaim her power in the midst of challenges.

Lalitha has a vulnerable conversation with us today about:

  • Her experience with rejection
  • The turning point for her
  • How she used rejection as a transformational tool
  • Real life challenges as a woman of colour
  • Hurdles she has had to overcome in her personal life
  • How these hurdles have served as stones in a path towards discovering her purpose
  • Why she is so invested in embracing culture as an entrepreneur and supporting women to do the same


Listen in and send us a DM - did you have any lightbulb moments? Do you have thoughts to share about being a woman of colour in the entrepreneurial space?

We'd love to hear from you! Enjoy the episode!
