Darpan My Journey presents Raj Arneja-Author of Love at First Sight: A Mother's Journey to Adoption & Director, Community Engagement & Philanthropy at Nanak Foods. Her story is all about wanting to open the chapter of motherhood, how she choose to adopt as she wasn't able to conceive, and what a gratifying experience being a mom has been for her.
Highlighting the journeys of such individuals not only celebrates their achievements but also provides valuable insights into the challenges they've overcome and the lessons they've learned along the way.
It's through these stories that others can find motivation and courage to pursue their own dreams and aspirations. Stay tuned for more inspirational South Asian Canadians and their journeys.
