Our MWC Woman of the Week is SURJIT KAUR, who is known as ‘Rooh Ki Saheli’ (Soul Friend) in the MWC Community. An eminent writer, Surjit has authored several books of poetry, prose and stories that connect South Asian diaspora to their roots. Through her poetry, Surjit gives voice to the agony of the women and hopes to build empowered communities where women blossom to their full potential.

Surjit Kaur played a leading role in the recently organized ‘International Women Punjabi Poetry Festival’ which showcased the prominent women poets from around the world. In addition, Surjit Kaur also volunteers her time with various social and health services organizations such as Disha and Amar Karma.

In the words of Surjit, “I am a seeker who wishes to explore the secrets of Nature and my relationship with it”. We are blessed to have Surjit Kaur as part of the MWC Circle!
