Before #MeToo #HeForShe #TimesUp #LeanIn and other such #hashtags the founder of Saris to Suits, who was born near the Nepal border in UP but grew up in the US, was working on all those fronts.  Her calendar campaign gives women a platform to raise their voices - and to inspire girls to get educated and to stand on their own.   

Soar with us to India for what will be an unforgettable inaugural SarisToSuits diversity conference.   This unique conference in the epic city of Udaipur in the state of Rajasthan will address pressing issues of concern women of the world face not only at home but also in the corporate world and in society in general.  

Why should Americans or the world care about Asian-American, Indian women, or women of color? Understanding them is key at the minimum for business, according to recent studies  Recently India was ranked the most dangerous country for women:  Fact or Perception?  #MeToo put the US at 10.  Weigh in on Reuters ranking of ten countries.

Equality is a MUST for greater reasons and it is long overdue for half of the human race.   

Let's inspire, empower, protect, educate and serve!  The Empowerment-India "Global Unity in Diversity" trip to key Indian cities, landmarks, NGOs, and Marigold Diary trunk show is planned to give a wide range of experiences that will make you want to stay longer or to return next year.  You may want to fly a kite during the festival of Makar Sankranti on January 14th.
