Masterclass Teacher - Ritu Bhasin

Ritu Bhasin, Award-Winning Empowerment Coach, Speaker, Bestselling Author

 

Born in Toronto, Canada to Sikh Punjabi immigrant parents, living a life rooted in belonging for her means embracing her imperfections, loving hard even though she's had her heart broken a bazillion times, and embracing all aspects of herself — the good, the bad, and the ugly. It means taking care of herself so that she can live her best and give her best to others. It means wearing funky clothes, dancing it up to Bhangra and Soca music, and laughing really loud.

It also means speaking up about injustice and using her actions to interrupt the oppression that permeates society.

But most importantly, belonging for Ritu is about creating a world where everyone can be who they are. She want you to live your best, most authentic and empowered life, even in the face of experiencing hurtful, hateful, and harmful things. This is your fundamental right in life.
