I had the privilege of sitting in on a powerful discussion about identity, with Amit Amit Ghose | Helping You Build Confidence sharing his story alongside NAROOP | Speaker & Storyteller who was hosting this heartfelt conversation this week at Maslow’s
Hearing Amit talk about his experience of Neurofibromatosis Type 1 (NF1) and the impact it’s had on him as a child, a teenager, and now an adult, was just so profound.
It’s amazing how, on the surface, our stories can look so different, yet there are so many parallels. The struggles with confidence, self-esteem, self-worth, judgement, and the ongoing journey to accepting and loving yourself — these threads connect us more than we realise.
What stood out - and honestly broke my heart - is how some parents don’t make the effort to teach their children about accepting difference. Parents have such an important role to play in guiding children to accept others who look different to them, whether that’s a visible difference or a disability.
Another story that really resonated was around the journey with fertility, and how it can shape our sense of worth, blame, and shame. Amit was incredibly generous with sharing the full scale of his story.
Naroop is exceptional at creating safe spaces for conversations that hit deep. If you haven’t already, I’d really encourage you to follow his work and listen to his podcast over at The Dad Project
Looking forward to more human conversations. It was great to meet some new faces Chit Chat Chai with Rani and Multi Award Winner Digital Consultant|Creative Director Aysha Khala Sharon Bhamra Chani Jhooti 🙏🏼
