Writer. Memoirist. Speaker.

Bringing lived stories to the stage.

With over a decade in the public eye, countless appearances on stage, traditional media, print, and podcasts, I have built a deep understanding of just how powerful our voice can be.

I speak honestly, I speak with fervour, and I try to speak with raw emotion.

Why Choose Me

I speak from the intersection of lived survival and creative transformation. Born into an Indigenous nomadic tribe in the Indian Himalayas and later uprooted to Austria, my life journey has spanned continents, cultures, and personal reckonings , including surviving human trafficking and sex work. These experiences have given me a rare and powerful voice that I now use to advocate for healing, identity reclamation, and the transformative power of art.

As an internationally recognised screenwriter (Academy Nicholl Fellowship & Austin Film Festival finalist) and trauma-informed storyteller, I bring both craft and candour to every stage I speak on. My sessions aren’t just talks: they are invitations to reflection, empowerment, and deeper connection.

Whether I’m addressing fellow survivors, artists, writers, or institutions seeking to understand trauma and resilience, I tailor each talk to meet the emotional and intellectual needs of the audience. My work is grounded, accessible, culturally nuanced, and always deeply human.

If you're looking for a speaker who brings truth, creative insight, and inspiration…I’d be honoured to collaborate.
