From battling cancer to crowned leader: Dr Parin Somani's journey of global empowerment
Prof Dr Parin Somani is a globally celebrated author, international motivational speaker, thought leader, humanitarian, philanthropist, CEO of the London Organisation of Skills Development, Chief Editor of the
Global Research Journal
, mentor, researcher, TEDx speaker, educationist, social reformer, NGO leader, and multiple pageant titleholder, committed to uplifting communities through knowledge, compassion, and global collaboration.
Born on 17 June 1969, Dr Parin Somani's story began in India, where she showed early promise as a Kho-Kho champion and the fastest cyclist. She faced a serious health crisis—an aggressive form of cancer called ameloblastoma—which led to temporary blindness and major surgeries. Doctors gave her what she calls a 'biscuit expiry date.' But she didn't give up; she focused on turning her pain into power and began walking the path of healing not just herself—but others.
While fighting for her life, many would have given in to despair. But she didn't stop dreaming big, even after all this. She battled the painful illness not once, but twice. She lost her eyesight temporarily and underwent facial surgeries, but this couldn't keep her away from her goals. During this difficult time, to distract herself, she started writing and completed 11 books before she turned 21. Her challenges taught her that real strength comes when we decide not to give up, no matter how dark the night may seem.
