Hyderabad (India)
A
woman is defined by her cour-
age and self-confidence,” Dr.
Tejaswini Manogna, Miss In-
dia-Earth 2019 and the titleholder of
Divine Miss Earth India 2019, in her
eloquent and inspiring keynote ad-
dress at the Women’s Forum told the
hundreds of AAPI delegates during
the Global Healthcare Summit in Hy-
derabad earlier this month. “Be brave
to voice your choices and do not give
up your goals. Speak up. Do not suf-
fer in silence. Be bold and brave to
voice your opinion. If a woman can
lead at home, she can lead the world.
Dream to do something for others. If
I can do it, you all can do it,” Dr. Te-
jaswini Manogna said.
The Women’s Forum organized
by Dr. Seema Arora, Dr. Udaya
Shivangi, Dr. Meher Medavaram,
Dr. Malati Mehta and Dr. Uma Jon-
nalagadda, had a galaxy of successful
women, who shared with the AAPI
delegates their own stories of growing
up and facing challenges with convic-
tion and courage, and have today be-
come role models for other women
around the world.
