One of the biggest antagonists of our life is Patriarchy- a toxic philosophy that has governed so much of our existence. From simple things like not wearing shorts and exposing those sexy legs, to being pulled out of school for getting periods, the spectrum is huge and we all fit in somewhere or the other. And as a generation, we try to defy but there is always a side of guilt that never goes away. To talk about all this, we had Dr. Falguni Vasavada, someone who has been through it and has successfully empowered herself; and now passes on the learning to numerous other women. She is a professor at MICA, an advertising and branding consultant to businesses, an Instagram celebrity, a national-level Garba player, and above all the role model we all want to have. She talks to us about the realizations she has had through the years, how toxic conditioning needs to be caught early and unlearned, how to tap into the confidence you already have and dust off the layers of what people say, and assures us that being ourselves is a superpower.
