MaaDisha's #WCW
Our Favorite Inspiring Women
Every Wednesday, we'll be highlighting empowering women from all walks of life! You can read about these talented ladies and the wonderful work they do, right here as we celebrate their achievements and natural beauty.
Elena Shur
Meet Elena, NYC-based photographer
Elena loves shooting in nature because there are endless ways to incorporate it and its beauty into her photography. She also loves the challenge that comes along with working with natural light. It changes every hour and by knowing how to manipulate the light, she can create something naturally beautiful. I think being an entrepreneur is great because the possibilities are endless. She can be as creative and innovative as she want to be, and the results are incredibly rewarding.
Shout out to this inspiring lady who feels that life is her classroom and I'm always eager to learn!
Erin Zaikis
Meet Erin, Founder of Sundara
As an entrepreneur, Erin loves that she's responsible for her success (and for learning from her failures), and that she's shaping her organization, which works to reduce preventable deaths and diseases through sustainable solutions, involving female empowerment, local involvement, and intensive hygiene education. Sundara's most recent hire, 20-year-old Sheetal, is on her way to becoming the first in her family to be literate, as she is now able to return to school and pay her own fees. Along with all of this, Erin runs a blog on Asian desserts!
Shout out to this inspiring lady, who believes that "when you can give a woman the opportunity to succeed, more often than not she will make the right choices for herself and her family: and loves being a part of that!
