Empowered women are the key to change in society

Presented by Think Geek Media, ‘Empower’,
is the brand’s CSR platform to #Inform #Inspire #Influence diverse audiences
through information enabled curated media events, designed to support present
and future thought leaders towards collective society and community change.

Founder-CEO, Ethel Da Costa of Think Geek
Media, stated, “’Empower’ aims to bring celebrated talent in Art, Film, Music,
Women issues, once a month to Goa and create a shared environment of
inspirational learning, self-development, information sharing platforms towards
empowerment for women and men. This second edition held in Goa on Aug 31-Sept 1
with Mumbai’s noted Self Transformation Author, Conscious Healer and Sports
Entrepreneur, Sonalli Guptaa was full of energy packed sessions, empowering
young adults of Dhempe and Carmel College towards self-care tools in body
positivity. Their response was magic.”

Author of `Love, Life and Everything in
Between,’ owner of Magika Asteria (Mumbai’s champion women’s throw ball
team), and a Business `whisperer,’ Sonalli Guptaa strongly believes in
empowering her audiences, and contributing towards building holistic
self-relationships, fostering healthy body positivity. She said, “Think Geek Media’s
initiative and women like Ethel Da Costa are what we need more and more of in
every city, every town and every village of our country to inspire and empower
us all; and create a platform for all of us to be a contribution towards each
other, and society and our country at large. I am humbled to know that I could
be a conduit in empowering Goan future through its young adults and women, to
recognize their own worth and the immense power that lies within each one of
them, through self-love and self-acceptance. I too am, empowered.”

Ably supported by Dhempe College, Miramar, and Carmel College,
Nuvem, with full house participation towards the `Claim, Not Shame your Body,’
Master Classes, Dr Vrinda Borker, Principal, DCT’s Dhempe College of Arts and
Science, said, ”We need to make significant efforts towards enabling students
to develop a synergistic relationship with society. This will happen only when
we instil an innate sense of confidence and positivity in them. Events such as `Claim,
not shame your body,’ under the aegis of ‘Empower’ by Think Geek Media are
great ways of doing that. I thank author Sonalli Guptaa for interacting with
our students. A creative melange of academics and co-curricular always yields
the best results,” Dr Borker shared.

Adding social awareness to empowerment was Rotary Club of Margao
Sunrise, with the launch of the World’s Greatest Meal (WGM) programme to raise
funds towards 100% Polio eradication across the globe. Hosted by President,
Rotary Club of Margao Sunrise, Ms Flory Gracias at Nanutel Hotel, Margao, the
book launch of `Love, Life, and Everything in Between,” saw Margao’s
noted social literati, homemakers, and professionals coming together for an
evening of information lead community sharing. Rotarian Dr Lenny Da Costa,
presented the Polio Eradication vision of Rotary International towards making
our planet Polio free.

Stated Flory Gracias, President, Rotary Club of Margao Sunrise,
“The role of a leader is not to get people to follow them, but to empower
others to lead and be an inspiration. This event empowered us to introduce WGM,
a Rotary International initiative to spread awareness and raise funds towards
eradicating Polio, which is the mission of Rotarians like us, around the world.
Empower and author Sonalli Guptaa’s thoughts resonated with each of us, feeling
inspired to take steps in accepting our true selves. Rightly said that change
begins first with self,” Ms Gracias concluded.
