India's First Transgender International Beauty Queen Naaz Joshi | Story of Resilience and Courage

In this powerful episode, we sit down with Naaz Joshi, India’s First Transgender International Beauty Queen, to hear her remarkable journey of resilience and dreams. Born as a boy and abandoned by her family for being feminine, Naaz faced immense challenges early on. At just 11 years old, she endured abuse at the hands of her own relatives and was left in a hospital with little hope. She worked at dance bars and restaurants to earn a living from 1998 to 2006. Yet, with courage and determination, she transformed her life, becoming a fashion designer from NIFT, India’s premier fashion institute, and later embracing her true identity as a trans woman. After her graduation, she worked with two designers of India, Ritu Kumar and Ritu Beri.

Naaz’s story is a testament to never giving up and proves that, with dreams and an unbreakable spirit, anyone can rise above adversity. Her journey offers inspiration to those who feel lost or sidelined by society, showing that even in the darkest times, there's a way forward.

Tune in to be inspired by Naaz Joshi's incredible life story!
