East Meets West, Kaleidoscope

The India Association of Rio Grande Valley (IARGV) organized “Kaleidoscope,” a community event celebrating women’s wellness. The event involved the Valley community through family dance performances and highlighting the regional diversity of India. Dr. Ektaa Sibal, a professional life coach, provided educational content while Ms.Katrina Ji, specially trained in Rajasthan, India, brought the crowd on the floor with a high-octane serpent folk dance called “Kalbelia.” The program concluded by recognizing extraordinary women in the Valley: the Passion Award, Dr. Vanessa Median; the Making A Difference Award, Dr. Sarojini Viswamitra; and the Woman of Substance Award, Dr. Padmini Bhadriraaj.

Proceeds from the event supported “Women Together,” Mujeres Unidas.
