As a\u00a0single, working parent<\/strong>, she has successfully juggled the work-life challenge by raising a son who is currently a nineteen-year-old university student, as well as developing\u00a0two successful niche brands<\/strong>, both founded in 2002, and both of which have seen a continual upward trajectory of success ever since.<\/p>\n

She takes on a maximum of 11 clients per calendar year under this umbrella, so as to ensure to provide optimal as well as personalized service at all times.<\/p>\n

Since inception, both marques have provided significant contributions to the pioneering efforts and forward movement of the South Asian pop culture scene within the diaspora<\/strong>, to which Raj credits her involvement in part to her personal growth barometer which has continued to develop through the many life lessons she has been exposed to over the years.<\/p>\n

Over the years, Raj has been a\u00a0strong advocate for supporting numerous causes<\/strong>\u00a0through her companies and personally as well. These have included: Doctor\u2019s Without Borders, the Heart & Stroke Foundation, Canfar, the Aga Khan Foundation, and [free-them].<\/p>\n

Raj\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong>has finally come to know, accept, and celebrate the fact that she is a\u00a0self-made, empowered woman<\/strong>\u00a0who has immense value to add to her own life as well as to others. She continues in her pursuit of learning and teaching; forever the student, forever the guru.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text margin_bottom=”50″]\n
