I am a wisdom seeker, traveler, and multi-passionate entrepreneur who doesn't believe in a fixed understanding of identity.
HOW DO YOU EMBRACE DIVERSITY AND/OR UNCONVENTIONALITY?
The most memorable moments of my life have come from traveling the world, engaging with new people, and diving into deep conversations with strangers who became close friends. Growing up between cultures and living across continents exposed me to a beautiful tapestry of languages, traditions, and perspectives from an early age. This diverse upbringing instilled in me a profound appreciation and deep connection for the richness that different backgrounds and viewpoints bring.
We must foster diversity to live in a world filled with innovation and progress.
HOW DO YOU EXPRESS YOURSELF CREATIVELY?
Through dance and movement. Letting the body flow to music following a beat has been my primary form of expressing myself and processing the world. Photography is another way to capture memories and elements that bring me joy. It is something that I don't get to do anymore, but I find great pleasure and joy when I travel to explore the world through the lens. Another way is through my non-profit, Ziva Voices. I love telling the stories of women who are impacting the world. Speaking with them and listening to their stories is therapeutic and empowering and creates a sense of belonging.
HOW DO YOU THINK YOU CAN CONTRIBUTE TO THE COMMUNITY? WHAT DO YOU FEEL YOU ARE AN EXPERT IN AND COULD GIVE ADVICE TO THE COMMUNITY ON?
I have been working with emotions for over 15 years now. My yoga and meditation journey started before the space got McDonalized. :-) These experiences led me to my research on emotions and identity and helped me create a business that supports people in understanding how to be and think integratively. I believe I can give the greatest support to people who feel stuck or have lost their sense of purpose. I am also a great soundboard and support in finding solutions for professional and personal development. What do I need support in? Professionally, creating a better business model. Personally, finding aligned women who like to spend time indulging in in deep conversations and philosophy.
