This week's guest is the inspiring Kalpana Kumar.  She is an up-and-coming writer/director, originally from India, now living in Kalamazoo, MI. 

Kalpana had a successful acting career in India when she was younger, but had no experience as a filmmaker prior to 2019 . After a 30-year hiatus from acting,  she still had a passion for storytelling. With the encouragement of her husband and two sons, Kalpana decided to go after filmmaking and completed a year-long crash course in 2019. In one year, Kalpana went from having no experience as a filmmaker to making an internationally acclaimed and award-winning film called Lakshmi - Untold Truths. The film explores unseen struggles faced by Indian women and can be seen on YouTube. 

This conversation was very enlightening! The key message is that it's never too late to go after your dream! Sit back and enjoy this episode!
