Ojas Bhagra - Sharing Stories of Stigma and Strength

In this week’s episode of the Growth Edge podcast, I speak with incoming high school senior, Ojas Bhagra. He shares his passion for exploring the richness of humanity through advocacy, community, and a powerful initiative called Stories of Stigma and Strength. 

Stories of Stigma and Strength is a community initiative that aims to shatter stigma one story at a time. This important work advocates for people; socially marginalized individuals, those who cannot advocate for themselves or are thrust aside in our society. We also discuss the importance of self-awareness and self-regulation as leadership practices, the value of feedback, and the process of nurturing confidence and self-belief as we traverse new and uncharted territory in our personal and professional lives.
