Welcome to Wide Angle Conversations DEI Talks. I am your host Taruna Aggarwal, an Executive and Life Coach. My passion is to empower youth  and young adults with a Mental Fitness level that will help them to navigate life and impact positive change for the wellbeing of our people and our planet.My guest in this episode is Sujata Tiwari, an entrepreneur, a Life Mentor, Speaker and Author, based in Singapore. She has had a varied career journey from Journalism to Investigation Detection and Surveillance Consultant, Brand Protection and anti-counterfeiting specialist.  She is the author of Amazon bestselling book 'Against all Odds'  an autobiography of her life journey full of challenges no one should have to face. From being stalked by a mafia don as a young mother to the worst nightmare of her daughter's rape and the gruelling court case which the family fought for over 6years in India.This is not an ordinary book it is an inspiration.  Sujata wrote about what others would keep silent about. Her courage, vulnerability and authenticity reflects in every page of her book, and gives the reader courage and hope. She motivates us to speak-up against any injustice or abuse at work, home or society level.  Life does not come with any manual and there is no erasing anything, one has to live with whatever life throws at us,  what makes the difference is how we choose to deal with it. Only courage, grit, determination, self-belief and persistence can enable us to live true to our values.
