Today we sat with Kalyani Sundaresan. She is a software architect and lead with strong full stack skills. But she is here with us because she was also Sofia's first official sewing teacher, and shared this skill passed down from a long family history, full of hand crafting skill sets that used to be more commonplace.
-------
And her love of creating and finding her renewed passion for the art of design came alive only a few years ago, even having come from a home where clothes were created out of necessity. This is inspiring to see as she is far along in her technical career, but has gravitated to expressing herself through bespoke tailoring and will continue to expand her designs and creations.
-------
Kalyani also shared some insight into what an arranged marriage is really like, and the differences between having a large support system for marriage and what she sees here in America not only in regards to marriage but to families and friendships alike. It was eye opening for me, and a great opportunity to learn about how those intricacies work.
-------
She is so full of positive energy and enthusiasm, it was an honor to have her here and share time with the both of us.
Enjoy and Be Healthy Yall
