✨ Nostalgia : Anchor Divya Som’s Journey Through the World of Pageants.
Back in 2016, Divya had the privilege of hosting a beauty pageant. Beyond just hosting, she also had the opportunity to mentor the contestants on communication. As an anchor, Divya guided them on how to walk the ramp, speak confidently on the mic and respond to the judge’s questions. Many of these incredible women, despite being successful homemakers, entrepreneurs and professionals, initially struggled with confidence, but on stage each one of them proved to be a queen!
It was heartening to see how this pageant became a transformative journey for them, helping them discover their voices and embrace their authentic selves.
For Divya, the learning was equally profound. Witnessing these women blossom into confident, poised beauty queens on stage was inspiring. It reaffirmed my belief in the immense potential we all carry within us, often untapped.
This experience inspired Divya to step onto the other side of the stage, leading her to participate in the Mrs.World International Pageant in 2022, where she was honored to be a finalist. This new experience opened up a whole new world and meeting multi-faceted women from diverse backgrounds. It was a true powerhouse of talent under one roof.
Common thread: As women, we juggle multiple roles effortlessly, managing our homes, leading teams, nurturing our children and so much more. Our capacity for compassion, strength and resilience is nothing short of extraordinary.
Looking back, she realises how our presence as women has shaped countless lives, whether as mothers, mentors, or managers. It’s a reminder that the hands that rock the cradle can also rule the world!
