Meet APARNA JAIN, the author of ‘Like A Girl: Real Stories for Tough Kids’ for a discussion about women and #LikeAGirl.

A Leadership coach and D&I advocate, APARNA wanted to bring to the forefront stories of Indian women she saw as heroes for the current generation of children. The book features 51 stories of incredible Indian women – achievers & doers who changed and are changing the face of India. Some stories are simple, fun and easy. Some are tough – stories that need dining table conversations – caste, mental health, human rights, gender, liberty and freedom.

APARNA will be in conversation with VIDYA SRI, Co-founder of Everywoman Everywhere Coalition.
