WE RISE TOGETHER
The Origin
In 2010, I lost my beautiful son, Nayan, in a tragic car crash. That loss took hold of me and, as a result, I fell into darkness. Rising from that darkness was not easy, and the lessons I learned on that journey are something I've always wanted to share with others, in the hope that it might help them when adversity strikes.
Adversity doesn't discriminate. Falling once doesn’t mean you wont fall again. Earlier this year, I was diagnosed with cancer. It's been a profound journey through surgery and ongoing chemotherapy. It has been a frightening experience to confront my own mortality.
That's why I've launched We Rise Together - a social enterprise dedicated to helping people overcome life's darkest moments.

WE RISE TOGETHER
A JOURNEY FROM DARKNESS TO LIGHT AND THE LEGACY IT LEAVES
Our mission is to build a global platform for resilience, offering real stories, meaningful resources, and a community of hope. It's my aim that a significant proportion of all future profits will be donated to causes like grief support, cancer care, and mental health.
To kick this off, I'm writing my memoir, one chapter at a time. The first chapter, "Shaken," tells the story of the day my fall began, and the moment that gave me a reason to rise.
This is more than a book; it's the foundation of a global movement, and I need your help to build it. I believe that compassion and care are powerful forces that, if harnessed collectively, can change the world.
The first chapter of my book is available now. Every purchase and every share is a vote for this mission.
The Blog
My mission, which has risen from lived experience, is to be a positive force in the world to help people overcome the darkest moments of their lives and find the strength to rise. With my cancer diagnosis I’ve felt a calling to create something that helps people to climb from adversity and to provide education with the hope of preventing tragedies from happening in the first place.

Anger, sadness, and a profound sense of loss will weigh heavily on those who lose someone they love. These feelings last for years and healing from such tragedy takes time — sometimes a lifetime.
When adversity strikes it can be isolating, frightening and it tests you in ways you can’t imagine. It’s okay to experience this. It's a challenging time and we’d not be human if these feelings did not surface.
One “L” of Journey: 10 Levers That Helped Me to Rise
Nothing is easy when everything is hard. When I fell my instinct was to pull away, isolating myself in pain. It was easier to withdraw than to engage.
I felt so alone in my darkest moments. I suspect that this is true for anyone who finds themself wrapped in adversity and who is afraid to seek help.
