We all know it takes a lot of courage, hard work, perseverance and in some cases luck to be successful in any industry. But we often forget one very important factor. It also takes a believer, a stepping stone.
A previous AWA award winner (and a complete stranger) Tanya Datta nominated me in January 2016 for the AWA Arts & Culture award. Against all odds and fierce competition, I was honoured with the award in May 2016!
Since then I’ve been invited to several schools and libraries, have received some very heart-warming messages from children and many lovely testimonials. I’ve also got many more school and library visits in the pipeline.
The Asian Women of Achievement awards, has been my stepping stone.
