from The WECAN Podcast
Join us for an inspiring conversation on SheCan Media as Stephanie sits down with Anjali Mehta to discuss her fight for justice and gender equality. Anjali is a human rights and law-of-war attorney, a Fulbright scholar, TEDx speaker, professional dancer, mountaineer, and nonprofit leader—all rolled into one extraordinary trailblazer. In this interview, you’ll hear about how Anjali merges law and storytelling to combat gender-based violence globally, from India and the UK to Colombia, Brazil, Chile, and the U.S. Her legal victories include representing asylum-seekers and fighting for the constitutional rights of transgender girl athletes in U.S. courts. Anjali’s work as a dancer, filmmaker, and somatic movement facilitator—whose pieces have been nominated at Cannes’ Diversity Short Film Showcase and earned her a Bessie nomination. From summiting Aconcagua (23,000 ft) to Kilimanjaro (≈19,000 ft), and her inspiring goal to become the first Indian-American woman to complete the Explorer’s Grand Slam. Her vision for young Indian-American girls: “No dream is too big,” a message grounded in resilience, courage, and unwavering purpose.
