My Secret Shakti | Dr (h,c) Ria Meera Munshi | TEDxUniversityofSalford

From confusion to creation, and from otherness to empowerment, join multi-award-winning creative entrepreneur and artist Dr (h.c) Ria Meera Munshi as she takes us on a powerful journey through identity, culture, and belonging. In a world that often pushes us to fit in, Ria found her spark in standing out. Through Indian classical dance, storytelling, and the symbolism of the red bindi, she invites us to embrace our inner 'shakti', the divine energy within, and transform personal adversity into universal magic. This isn’t just a talk. It’s a celebration of strength, creativity, and joy. Dr (h,c) Ria Meera Munshi, FRSA, is an extraordinary multihyphenate talent and cultural entrepreneur, celebrated for her extensive contributions to the arts with numerous awards and a prestigious Bollywood Guinness World Record. As a trained Bharatanatyam dancer, celebrity choreographer, cultural consultant, model, actor, presenter, keynote speaker, writer, director, and businesswoman, she brings a vibrant, multidimensional approach to her craft. In her role as Artistic Director of Ri Ri's Dance Academy, she continues to inspire and celebrate Indian culture, identity, and heritage on both national and international stages. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
