Freelance Content Writer and Content Marketer, Shivani Gupta, shared her #BreakTheBias story.
Shivani is a girl who overcame all the hurdles despite being coping with anxiety and depression for more than a decade now. She never allowed her mental health to be a reason for anyone to question her work ethics, talents, or skills. In fact, she started her freelancing business two years back and managed to grow it successfully even when people weren't even able to retain their jobs during the pandemic.
Her mantra is "Small wins matter a lot to achieve bigger successes" and her super power is her passion for her work.
Olympian Shikha Tandon shared her story
The number of girls leaving sports increases to get advanced or higher education. There is a misconception in India that sports and advanced education can’t go parallel. But this did not stop Shikha Tandon from taking up sports and education simultaneously.
She is an Olympian swimmer and represented India for almost 15 years at various international competitions. At the same time, her education in Biosciences fueled her interest in the sports science and fitness industry.
She worked to #BreakTheBias and carved a seamless transition from competitive sport to her current professional career. Her work now involves interacting with health/fitness tech companies, athletes of all levels, and coaches, to leverage advancements in data science and human biology to establish solutions that enable personalized insights and recommendations.
