I recognized that early on, and spent my life focusing on that skill. In some ways, I lead a dual life professionally, though one in which both “occupations” complement the other. What I do and who I am begins and ends with my power over the written word – or rather, its power over me.

My freelance work ranges from sports to travel to special interest features.

My role in the field started in corporate communications for a national building products company as a Writer/Editor. It then grew to PR Manager, then expanded further into the field of Marketing Communications. By the time I struck out on my own, I was skilled at creating and implementing strategic PR Plans, PR campaigns, trade show communications initiatives and digital campaigns.

- [Padmini Janaki](https://www.womeninbigdata.org/category/padmini-janaki/) - Building Mind&Mom | Femtech | Data I grew up in humble Madras in the 90s, and I still remember my single mother’s body, thin and tiny. She looked weak, and when I grew up a little, I found many women around me who looked similar, frail and tired. I thought it was a sign of poverty. My mother worked in textile as a salesgirl, I went to the shop directly from school to be with my mom, and there was an owner; she was rich and looked well-fed. I found her highly unhealthy; she suffered from obesity which I couldn’t understand at that age, but I figured out money has nothing to do with being healthy, and I thought the problem is with the country. Years passed, and in 2019, I worked in a US healthcare company. I talked to the teen pregnant girls; they’re 13 and already a parent; as a product manager, I couldn’t stand in their shoes and understand their reason. That’s precisely the point I figured out Women’s health is under-served worldwide. Rich, Poor, Indians, Americans, EVERY woman is going through a different health issue, and not many are worried about it! It is growing at a 22% higher rate. Then one year from that I quit my job. Here I am with Mind & Mom and 100,000 women on the platform. Would you like to join my mission to make women have better health? Let’s talk.
