Dr Ria Meera Munshi featured in her first book: ‘100 Women Stories’

Today, on this late Monday afternoon, as I sit and reflect on my journey, a truly unforgettable moment springs to mind—March 2019 🗓️✨. That was the month when I, Dr Ria Meera Munshi, had the incredible honour of being featured in the inspiring book 100 Women Stories by Gulnaz Brennan 💕🙌. This phenomenal collection celebrates the achievements of 100 extraordinary women from diverse backgrounds 🌏🌈—and I had the privilege of being part of it, as one of the top 100 most inspirational women of Greater Manchester! 🥰💐

Being included in this book wasn’t just about recognition—it was a celebration of the things I hold most dear: creativity, cultural arts, and staying true to one’s passions 💃🎨. To be acknowledged as a creative entrepreneur, choreographer, and advocate for the arts was both humbling and deeply inspiring ✨🖤.

One of my quotes in the book still resonates with me every single day:

“It is important to know who you are and keep in touch with your true self. In order to do that, we need to consistently do the things that we love and are passionate about.”

Looking back, these words feel as vibrant as ever 🌻. They’re a reminder to stay grounded and keep pursuing what lights us up from within 🔥💡

This milestone was also beautifully covered by The Bolton News 📰✨, showcasing my journey and the significance of being recognised as a role model for aspiring individuals 🌟🌠. Seeing my story shared with my community was incredibly heartwarming ❤️🥰—it allowed me to connect with so many people who share a love for creativity and cultural expression 🖌️🎶.

As I reminisce on this achievement today, my heart is filled with gratitude 🙏💖. This honour wasn’t just about me—it reaffirmed the power of art, passion, and authenticity to bridge gaps, inspire change, and bring people together 🤝💃.

Looking ahead, I’m committed to continuing this journey with everything I’ve got 🚀. My promise is to stay true to myself, celebrate the richness of cultural arts 🌍🎭, and lift others as I climb 🌟💡. Here’s to creating many more beautiful stories together 📖✨.

🦋 With love and a heart full of hope,
