There are days I don’t want to get out of bed. There are days I don’t recognize myself in the mirror. It's par for the course this past year. My body has completely changed from the inside and out and the daily foreign surprises can be very lonely. But you force yourself to put on that fancy dress that doesn’t fit you the way it once did. You tell yourself all sorts of things to put one foot in front of the other. Because you and your daughters have the lives we do because of organizations like @equalitynoworg. And it's important to show up. To show up for all the girls around the world who need us to keep fighting.
I can't tell you special it was to be able to pay tribute to the inimitable, exquisite @chimamanda_adichie with Ember by my side. To have Ember be on stage with such a powerful community of artists and activists was divine. I can't help but hope these are her people. That she feels at home in this tribe.

Thank you to my tribe who shows up, always. @jajoogirl, @betsykvs16, @amirarison, @shoba_narayan, @nisha.ganatra, @kalpenn, @nazaninboniadi, @mercedesmason, @aasif, @neil.mody. The night wouldn't have been the same without each of you. Love your hearts.

And to @_yasmeen.hassan, @juliescelfo, and the brilliant @equalitynoworg team, bravo to another year of profound work and change. We are so grateful. 🙌🏽🙏🏽👊🏽❤️

“A party of lights?!” said a sweet little with wide eyes. Why, yes- it’s #Diwali!!! What a week of celebrations all capped off by one epic NYC party with some of my fave people. After this year, I’ve never craved ‘the light’ more. Also never been more grateful. However, I must admit being able to go into both of my littles’ schools and have them be my Diwali presentation angels, will always take the gold. There’s nothing like seeing 2 year olds doing garba. ☺️ #happydiwali and #salmubarak Thank you @dharpooja for these 📸 #fuckcancer and #fuckheels too 💥🇮🇳🙏🏽 ps. @jorgevegaumana look what I’m wearing!! 🙌🏽✨❤️

When @seemanetwork approached me about a cover story, I asked if they would celebrate the 'buzz.' It's not often we see someone who likes like I do now on the cover of a magazine. Fleabag aptly says, 'Hair is everything!' Well hair for an Indian woman is next level shit. My relationship with my hair and ultimately my idea of beauty has evolved and continues to as I hike along my #fuckcancer journey. I am still in the thick of it but what I know for sure is my girls know we can rock through it all. Thank you to the whole SEEMA team for embracing this vision and giving me a day where I felt feminine and strong in a way I haven't in a long time. Aces from creative director @sunset_melody, photographer @jaxonphotogroup stylist @six20style and hair/makeup by @rubyredroots and @tiffanirainsmua. 🙌🏽❤️Be sure to check out this issue- so many incredible women highlighted throughout. @the29th https://www.seema.com/article/sheetal-sheth-persevering #fuckcancer #breastcancerawareness #workingmama

Over 10 years ago, I met this amazingly powerhouse couple that is @hananfkattan and @shamimsarif. I had the privilege of playing a character based on Shamim in I CAN’T THINK STRAIGHT and went on to make THE WORLD UNSEEN with them. Those films have made a profound impact on me and so many around the globe. These ladies pushed the envelope before it was cool to do so. Shamim has a new book out today, ‘The Athena Protocol.’ Get it friends. Her writing is so beautiful and original. So happy I was able to support at the NY book launch. We missed you @lisaraniray!

Thank you READ USA!! This amazing group brings book fairs to schools and makes sure kids get to go home with 3 books each- free. It’s incredible to see a child’s face when they are given a book of their own. It’s staggering how many kids have never owned a book. Incredible few days in Jacksonville, FL w this team, working w their schools. Community showed up and it was invigorating. I was honored to deliver a keynote at their fundraising luncheon and receive love alongside others doing great work. Humbled to be in the company of Gandhi’s grandson, a Holocaust survivor and local police star who’s doing tremendous outreach. And all during October, National Bullying Prevention Month and Breast Cancer Awareness Month. ❤️🙏🏽📚🌈 ps. Didn’t let the MAGA hats get me down pps. GET SCREENED. You could be saving your life. 🙏🏽 #alwaysanjali #kidlit @readusainc @bharatbabies #nationalbullyingpreventionmonth #breastcancerawareness #fuckcancer
