SARATHI SISTERS

She is a final year student at the Tata Institute of Social Sciences, pursuing her Bachelors in Social Sciences in the Tuljapur Campus. She loves to indulge undauntedly in the aesthetics of the revolutionary mediums of expression - art, cinema, and Instagram (Gen Z approved). Growing up in Saudi Arabia with a less gendered atmosphere at home and spending most of her teenage life in the black long 'abayas' has allowed her to retrospect the monochrome understandings of gender disparity. Being a gender student and a young individual who dares to take leadership in her own capacity, she constantly evaluates the gap and looks for ways to cease the taken-for-granted realities. Having been emotionally sabotaged by self-doubt and fear during high school, every day is a snippet of finding inspiration to make the best out of life as a woman. Through this page, she welcomes all the ambitious young women, the 'skjaldmærs', to celebrate femininity, raise a toast for those sisters who chose the unconventional destinations to create histories and support each other to dream bigger and better.
