Dhanya Ravi,<\/strong> a national and state award winning disability evangelist who aspires for a Rare-disease free and inclusive India!!! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She has spoken at many events across the globe including TEDx twice to empower differently-abled people to improve their lives and careers. She is one of the founder trustees of Aasmaan Foundation Trust and a facilitator for an inclusive dance group called \u201cThe Invincible\u201d.\u00a0She volunteers audio reads for persons with visual impairments. Here is the summary of our conversation with Dhanya:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. I aspire for a Rare Disease-Free India. Each of us need to take this as a personal responsibility.<\/li>
  2. Life is something to be lived and not escaped.<\/li>
  3. At a personal level I am still the same person. I still have my struggles. I am happy when people tell me that my work is making an impact.<\/li>
  4. Writing is how I make myself independent.<\/li>
  5. I am living a life that I am content with. <\/li>
  6. Life is about living it. Stigmas are meant to be broken.<\/li>
  7. For me, motivation happens from within, it is DHANYA vs DHANYA.<\/li>
  8. My thoughts to special parents. The children need a little more help. They are not different from others.<\/li>
  9. Many people have influenced me. However, we need to create an identity for ourselves. We need to be responsible.<\/li>
  10. My parents and my mentors have helped me become the person who I am today.<\/li>
  11. Pandemic made us realise that we are guests here. I do not want to call it as bad time – we just need to evolve with it.<\/li>
  12. Life is what we make it.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n
