“My videos are compilations of my experiences with life. I narrate stories from my life and what I have learned from them. My videos talk about all aspects of life, as such they are full of fun, facts and emotions.” – Mani.
Here is an interview with this talented lady.
Tell us more about yourself – your hobbies, dreams, passions.
I am from Allahabad (India), we moved to Australia in 2004 as I was really very ambitious for my family and wanted to give them better opportunities in life.
I do not have any hobbies however there are a bunch of things that I enjoy doing, like:
* reading
* Listening to music
* Watching movies
* Dancing
* Interior designing
* Making my weekly videos
* Spending time with my kids and listening to them
My Passion and dreams:
* my thoughts reaching huge audience and making some difference in our way of thinking
* One day making enough from my channel ( presently making nothing 🤣)to then pursue my other passion to design rooms and flip houses
* Succeeding in making my kids follow their passion and not give in and settling for alternatives
* Moving into a self designed tiny house
* Travelling at my own pace with no pressure or return tickets
* Making a difference and doing good for the society and kids in general
* Becoming a foster parent one day
2. You started a YouTube channel sometime ago. Who or what inspired you?
My YouTube channel is just a platform for me to share my stories with the world and hoping that one day it will make a difference and that people will relate to my experiences and will learn from them.
I am fond of narrating stories and my friends have told me that I am good at it; one of my friends actually always told me to do something with this talent.
My daughter when she was in Year 11 wanted to start her YouTube channel and while helping her with her channel I realised that this could be a great way for me to share my stories with a wider audience.
My channel was born on February 2019. I had started with no expectations however now I love making my videos and have never missed uploading.
I have since February 2019 released a video every Friday and will continue to do this.
Although my videos have not done great but it is growing slowly and I am really proud of that.
3. What does women empowerment mean to you?
On 8 March 2019 (international Women’s Day) I made a video that shares my thoughts on women empowerment fully, will share the link here for all to watch, bit in short I feel women are already empowered we just need to stand together for each other 😊
Below is the link to my episode from my channel talking about women empowerment:
4. What obstacles did you face in life? How did you overcome them?
I believe obstacles and huddles are opportunities in disguise and I have had my fair share .
I conquer all the challenges by being determined and by convincing others I never force my thoughts on others I convince them and convert them.
* Just moving my family to Australia was a huge challenge as no one supported that decision
* Letting my daughter follow her passion was a challenge
* Standing strong with my daughter when she came out as a lesbian was a challenge
* Giving equal attention to both my kids is a challenge, sometimes
* Kids feeling my love is a challenge
* Giving back to the society is a challenge
* Following my passion and dreams is a challenge
With all the challenges life throws at me I become a better and a stronger more loving person.
I love life and I live for and value good priceless relations.
