My wonderful mother, Rajni Sriram, has instilled in me the importance of #service with her unwavering commitment to children, through her leadership at The Wings of Hope Achievement Awards (WOHAA). My husband, Dr. Joey Blunt’s incisive mind and “go for it, darling” attitude encourage me when ambitious projects try to get the better of me. Getting this honour gives me a chance to reflect on the power of relationships, and some of the meaningful projects which have shaped me”.
