Welcome to episode 78 of Dominate Your Day, where we will unravel the remarkable journey of an organization called Commit2Change with Sumana Setty. We explore the challenges, triumphs, and countless young girls' lives who have been forever changed by the power of education.
During this episode, we embark on a captivating journey inspired by Sumana, an extraordinary woman whose cultivated path created something truly remarkable.
Sumana’s story starts in India. Her family immigrated to the United States and during trips back to India always found time to give back, spending time volunteering at orphanages and schools. Sumana is a social entrepreneur and has over 20 years of experience in Law & Finance. Embracing her family’s legacy of giving back and culture of encouraging education, Sumana with her business partner Sejal Gehani got involved in many different causes over the years. They then channeled this dedication to service into the creation of Commit2Change: an organization unique in its education-focused mission for young South Asian girls from difficult backgrounds. A mission inspired by their own experiences.
