Manage episode 255805410 series 1453213
Dipti believes in theater as a powerful lever for social transformation. From that place, she created HONOUR: Confessions of a Mumbai Courtesan.
HONOUR has given Dipti a powerful platform to advocate for women's rights and engage others on wide-ranging issues pertaining to inequity and gender. We talked about how she’s created awareness around feminism and what she’s learned from the women who have been sex trafficked.
These are just the accomplishments of Dipti’s creative pursuits. She also has a doctorate in Molecular and Cellular Biology and worked as a research scientist in the field of prostate cancer at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center for 10 years.
Dipti is an energetic force of nature and persistently walks her creative talk with such discipline. She’ll also share the importance of not sitting around and waiting for opportunities to arrive. We also talk about acting, writing, and playwriting for social change.
