Can you turn a job as a model into a career across many industries and nonprofits?

In this episode, we are joined by Pritika Swarup who has done exactly that! Pritika is an international fashion model, Founder/CEO of Prakti Beauty, and global ambassador for Operation Smile.

We kick off the discussion by asking Pritika about her experience in fashion, and how being a visible minority in the industry has inspired others who ⁣have seen her in the limelight. We also discuss how she took her experiences in fashion and her upbringing as an Indian-American and funneled that into creating her own modern Ayurvedic beauty brand, Prakti Beauty, to bring Indian beauty to the masses. 

We close the episode by talking about all things Operation Smile. Pritika walks us through how she became involved with the non-profit organization that helps children rediscover their smiles, and how Operation Smile empowers even high school students to make a difference. She discusses the various missions she's been on with the organization and how rewarding it's been to see the positive impact being made to uplift communities all across the world.
