#5 Miss India America: A Beauty Queen With A Cause

This week I’m joined by Miss India America- India LaRoda. India is African American and Indian and is the first bi-racial Miss India America. India is currently studying to be a paediatrician and was recently the recipient of the Women of Purpose Award. In today’s episode, we talk about the unique challenges she faced while trying to become the first bi-racial Miss India America. We also cover India’s passion project, SmileTrain which is a non-profit organisation that is committed to giving free Cleft lip surgeries to children in 85 countries. The most prominent takeaways from today’s episode are how to maintain your authenticity under insane pressure and why we should all give more.
