Episode 10 is my final interview of the season, and what an awesome note to end on! This episode finds me chatting with Manjula Selverajah — respected journalist, technology & education columnist for CBC Radio, and guest host for CBC Ontario. The two of us met pre-Covid thanks to The List, a monthly collection of networking events for women that I compile and share with the Toronto community. After I included Manjula's organization, Tamil Women Rising, she reached out and we instantly formed a great connection. Each of us admires what the other has done to empower and connect like-minded women. Tune in as we discuss why Manjula felt the need to start a networking group for Tamil women specifically, as well as:
- super simple tips to prepare for a networking event
- why you shouldn’t fear people who approach you — and how to respond when they do
- why becoming an event ‘regular’ may eventually work in your favour
- how to make events more inclusive — and why you need to!
- why gratitude and following up are both so important
