Highlights

Question societal pressures and inherited beliefs.
Embrace your passions, even if others disagree.
Rebellion often leads to self-discovery and growth.

In a thought-provoking anecdote, Rujuta Diwekar shares the story of a 13-year-old girl who avoided swimming—not because she disliked it, but because of the fear of becoming "dark." This deeply ingrained notion highly reflects the societal pressures that teach girls to prioritize their appearance over joy and self-expression.

Rujuta encourages young girls to ask questions about the beliefs that they could inherit. When the girl was asked why being dark really mattered, she couldn't explain—revealing how unquestioned norms could shape insecurities.

Rujuta's message is clear: don't accept everything you're told without even questioning it. She believes that being called stubborn, rebellious, or mad by your parents is a badge of honor, apparently signaling that you're living authentically.

Her advice?- Be fearless. If parents could label you stubborn, rebellious, or mad then it's a sign that you're on the right path. It means you're highly challenging limitations and living authentically.

Key Message:

Life isn't difficult for a girl with darker skin.
Life becomes difficult when girls deny themselves happiness, like swimming, because of the unfounded fears.

"Make some noise, ask questions, and never stop doing what you love."
