ST: What is the most important message you want to send out to all the
women around the world on this occasion?
women around the world on this occasion?
Sandy: It’s okay to be ‘You.’ And celebrate your uniqueness. I know
loads of women that say I am just a ‘stay-at-home-mom,’ and others feel bad
about working for extra income without being able to spend time with their
children. Well, I think each of you should be celebrated because one way other
the other you are doing the hardest and the yet the most rewarding job in the
world. You are amazing! Keep at it!.

ST: What according to you is ‘women
empowerment’?
empowerment’?
Sandy: It’s very simple concept, I believe it’s enabling a woman to
be everything that she is created to be and celebrating her unique role and
position in the family and society and my belief is quiet contrary to the
beliefs modern feminists have, the attitude that woman can be everything a man is
and view the traditional role of a stay-at-home mother as inferior.

ST: What would you say are the main challenges facing women at present
in India?
in India?
Sandy: I love how women in India are following their
dreams and passions and taking up various roles in society and making a
difference however, over the last 5 years I have noticed that the role of a Mom
has be devalued as something not as important or worth ‘her’ time and
attention. If we look at most of the successful people both men and women that
were and are history makers, they always credit their Moms for who they are. So
I urge women to always celebrate this very special role in which you can never
be replaced.

ST: Where do you want to see yourself in next 5 years?
Sandy: God willing, as a very successful Mompreneur, where we can
use the profits we make to change and transform the lives of the less fortunate
and make a big difference in our society and world and most importantly we do
it as a family.
