Interview with Tikiri Herath (Red Heeled Rebels | Author)
In this episode, we talk to Tikiri Herath an Author, Adventurer, Entrepreneur, Girl Empowerer and Author of the Red Heeled Rebels novel series. Also, we discuss how a plant-based lifestyle fits into her busy scheduled and how it shaped who she is today.
Who is Tikiri Herath?
I’m a rebel in my own way, who created the life I desired, making many mistakes along the way. I left home at a young age to distance myself from a difficult childhood, and worked for minimum wage, cleaning stinky toilets at one point and sleeping in basement rooms to put myself through a bachelor’s degree.
I went on to get an MBA from Europe and worked my way through the corporate world for more than a decade until I rediscovered my life’s passion for books and social change. Today, I write, speak and connect with readers with one goal in mind – to inspire and empower the lives of young women around the world, especially those who live in the darkest corners of our planet. I do what I do because I remember what it’s like to be a scared and lonely girl with few opportunities and little support.
What’s Her Mission?
I envision a world where every girl in the world gets to go to school in a safe and nurturing environment, a world where every young woman gets the choice to decide what she wants to do with the rest of her life.
My mission in life is to inspire girls and young women who live in the darkest corners of our planet. These are sad places where girls don’t matter and where women have few rights, if any. They are pulled out of school to marry men four times their age, forced into domestic slavery, bondage, trafficked across borders, and sold off for a mere few dollars as chattel, commodities. I want to inspire these girls and young women to stay strong against their adversities, to grab onto chances, and to never back down. Also, I want them to know they matter and they are not alone.
I write to entertain, but more importantly, I write to inform the world about what happens to the most vulnerable populations in our world today. And if only one girl, just one girl, stands up for her dignity and rights after reading my work, then I will have done my job.
