In this talk, Anita Peter shares her experience on how she did not let the society, her marriage or her age weigh her down. She emphasizes on the importance of self-belief and courage to undertake those tasks which otherwise seem far-fetched. She takes us on the ride of her life, from ‘who she was’ to ‘where she stands now’; a rider, a professional dancer, a theatre artist and above all, a mother of two. Her life is truly an inspiration for other girls to follow, who seek an independence from the norms of the society.

Anita believes that the only factor that decides whether you could do something is how much you want to do it.
