What happens when you blend life experiences together with your superpowers and lean into that confluence to bring to the world something that is inviting, knowledgeable and playful? This episode’s guest, Sunita shares how her inquisitiveness and early experiences together with 25 years in speech and language therapy helped her write books, introduce toys and provide content to help demystify the complexity of Hinduism in her platform, The Jai Jais. We hear how Sunita is constantly inspired to learn more, dig deeper and does so in such a way in which we all get to benefit, even if you follow or subscribe to another religion or culture. As she puts it “I’m just a regular middle aged mom who wants children to think that religion is not boring and it doesn’t have to be done in a solemn way.” It’s no wonder her platform has enjoyed the success it has so far and has inspired all ages to learn more and ask why.
Check out Sunita’s books, toys and content by following The Jai Jais at @thejaijais on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.
