I am Usha, born and raised in the ancient and culturally rich city of Varanasi, also known as Kashi, the oldest living city in the world. In Varanasi, art is more than a mere pursuit; it is a way of life, deeply woven into the fabric of our traditions. Growing up in such an environment, I developed a profound passion for the arts. My journey began as an art student, where I nurtured a deep-seated creative ambition. Despite marrying at a young age, my desire to carve out a space for myself never wavered. Life's responsibilities did not diminish my aspirations; instead, they fueled my determination to find an outlet for my creativity. My breakthrough came when I became involved with the Madhya Pradesh Association of Women Entrepreneurs (MAWE). This platform not only allowed me to showcase my talents but also empowered me to grow as a leader and advocate for women in business. Today, as the Vice President of MAWE, I continue to channel my passion for the arts and entrepreneurship, helping to inspire and uplift other women who seek to realize their own dreams..
