“The advice I’d gotten from a lot of folks was to work hard right now, and later when you have income, you can invest it in non-profit causes, but I always had this tension inside me - I have time right now, I have energy, how can I not be giving back!?” My inspiring guest in this Thanksgiving episode is San Francisco-based Nikita Maheshwari who tells the story of moving from India at age 7, not knowing any English, and the immense sense of gratitude she has for the opportunities she’s had in the US. Listen to Nikita talk about the impact her non-profit has made in the lives of marginalized Bay area women, and the impact the clients have made on HER! A timely episode for those of us in America entering the holiday season, especially as MoveUp gears up for #GivingTuesday on November 27! Please listen to her incredible story and know that all the donations on her site go directly towards programs that help underserved women become financially independent.
