Smriti Lamech's TEDx Talk, "How Your Diverse Interests Can Lead You to Your Purpose," unfolds as a captivating journey through her mosaic life, intricately woven by diverse cultural threads. From her family's unique blend of Kashmiri, Garhwali, Punjabi, Bengali, and Tamilian heritage to her own multifaceted interests in storytelling, handcrafting, education, activism, feminism, and entrepreneurship, Lamech reveals the beauty of life's mosaic and the potential it holds. Sharing her unconventional path, she encourages curiosity, bravery, exploration, empathy, and the trust in one's gut. The talk culminates with the inception of her pandemic-born venture, "The Smritsonian," uniting her passions into a kaleidoscope of handmade rag dolls, symbolizing feminist icons. Lamech imparts valuable lessons on finding joy and purpose in embracing the mosaic of life. She is the founder of Smritsonian, a women-led self help
group that creates products that promote feminism,
disability inclusion, communal harmony, and anti-casteism.
She specializes in content writing, strategic
communications and social media marketing. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
