About Me

I come from a small village in Nagaland — a place of deep roots, where the hills carry stories of strength and simplicity. Growing up in the North East, I learned early what resilience means. Life in Nagaland is beautiful, but it often comes with its share of struggles — limited access to resources, fewer opportunities, and yet a heart that never stops giving. Our people find joy in community, in food shared, in songs, and in standing by each other.

When I was only 18, I left home and came to Mumbai — a city that felt like a whole new world. I arrived with nothing but dreams and a desire to build something of my own. My heart was set on Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). I had no formal training, no big names backing me, only determination and the fighting spirit I carried from my land.

That journey taught me something powerful — growth doesn’t happen alone. It takes community, kindness, and shared belief. And that is what inspires me now to give back to women from Nagaland and the North East, to help them find the same strength, opportunity, and support.

Appeal

I grew up in a small village of Longjang in Nagaland, where women work tirelessly, growing rice, feeding families, and keeping our culture alive. Yet many still struggle for basic resources, for access to food, and for the money to start their own small businesses.

When I moved to Mumbai, I too struggled to find my footing. Kind-hearted people helped me when I needed it most — and that support changed my life. Not every woman gets that chance, and I want to change that.

Through this fundraiser, I hope to help women start small businesses, earn their own income, and live with dignity. Your support can help turn their hard work into hope, and their dreams into reality.

Let’s give back to the roots that raised us.
