At an early age Sona did her fair bit of experimentation with both highstreet and luxury brands that were aimed at helping her psoriasis, however these brands were formulated with chemical ingredients; doing more harm than good.It all started with a conversation…In the back of her mind Sona always wanted to create her own brand however, she never quite knew how to go about this and where to start. She knew tackling psoriasis was her main aim as it was a topic that lacked awareness.It all started with a conversation with her husband. They discussed the different ways in which Sona could create a brand that could help her psoriasis and then later help others facing the same skin concerns. This motivation pushed Sona to research all natural ingredients, whilst spending late nights creating batches of butter and finding ways to improve the brand and formula. Now here we are…After long hours of research, experimenting and formulating, Sona finally made an all natural product that has helped herself and others with psoriasis alongside other skincare issues. Not only has Sona created a platform for others to speak about their skincare concerns but she created more awareness of the topic from social media discussions to being on a podcast show.Now here we are...a creamy, whipped formula piped in a frosty jar and carefully placed in a soft, patterned, So Sona package - ready for you. https://www.instagram.com/sosonaskin/ --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shernivision/message

Designer and founder, Harleen Kaur Chhabra, graduated with a degree in Art and Costume Design and spent several years working with amazing teams at various fashion labels in New York. Her desire to design garments that were not only inspired by her American, Punjabi, and Thai heritage but also versatile, comfortable and ethically produced gave rise to Harleen Kaur. The unique aesthetic the brand offers ranges from comfortable cotton kurtas and floral satin lehengas to intricate jacquard sherwanis and metallic embroidered gowns. Horrified by stories of thousands of workers in overseas factories dying from preventable fires and building collapses and being paid next-to-nothing for the work they do, ensuring the well-being and safety of anyone creating garments for the brand was of the utmost importance for Harleen. By working with local factories in New York, Harleen is able to immerse herself in every step of the design and production process while ensuring that the factories she uses pay fair wages and provide a safe working environment. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shernivision/message

Hi, my name is Radha Patel and I am the founder of Single to Shaadi. I'm a matchmaker working with south asian professionals, living in North America, who are looking for serious relationships within the community. When I started out, I didn't necessarily know I was entering the matchmaking world, rather I just heard from many single family and friends who had asked me to set them up with someone desi because they were serious about settling down. After a few requests, I thought "let me write this all down" and created a google doc. From that google doc, I've evolved into a full blown service with almost 300 active clients. I officially launched "single to shaadi" in October of 2018, so just shy of 2 years now. We accept clients from any south asian background, over the age of 25 with a minimum bachelor's degree, and must physically be living in the US or Canada. We work with anyone who is "marriage minded" and seriously looking to be in a committed relationship. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/shernivision/message

Dr. Simarjeet Kaur Sandhu. or Dr. Simi. as she likes to be called, recalls as a young child reading books in bookstores, libraries, and classrooms, but that the stories did not include characters that looked like her or that spoke of her cultural or religious background. A lifelong lover of reading and writing, she realized as an adult that she wanted to help young readers have a different experience and so she writes children's stories to spread awareness, particularly for those of Sikh background. As a child, Dr. Simi experienced a lot of bullying and discrimination, particularly after the 9-1 I attacks, by people confusing Sikhs for those related to the Taliban or Osama Bin Laden. In part, this drove her to her journey as an educator of young children, teaching English as a second language, so that she could help build a learning environment that is accepting of people of all backgrounds. Dr. Simi believes a good book is one where the reader can close their eyes and picture the story and relate to its characters. She wants her young readers to come away from her books learning that seemingly ordinary people, like farmers, are very important to our communities and the world by what they do for us. In her new children's picture book, Kisaan, she conveys how very important this is in India because kisaans, or farmers, help feed billions of people. Dr. Simi was inspired to write Kisaan by her two nieces, Mia and Bela. She wanted them to be able to grow up with books that reflected their background. Mia is also the co-author ofthe book, having originally written an essay aboutthe recent plight offarmers in India, particularly her great- grandfather, the main character in the story, who have been affected by new and unfair laws against the kisaans of India. Dr. Simi is a graduate of Hood College's Doctoral program, and gives credit to them for motivating her to be a leader in her community. She believes that the DOL program encourages and equips cohort members with the skills needed to become effective leaders. Dr. Simi is also the published author of We are Sikhs, What is Meditation? We Say Waheguru and What is Mool Mantra?. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/supreet03/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/supreet03/support
