Welcome to episode 78 of the Dominate Your Day podcast! Today, we embark on a captivating journey inspired by Sumana Setty, an extraordinary woman whose cultivated path created something truly remarkable.

Sumana\u2019s story starts in India. Her family immigrated to the United States and during trips back to India always found time to give back, spending time volunteering at orphanages and schools. Sumana is a social entrepreneur and has over 20 years of experience in Law & Finance. Embracing her family\u2019s legacy of giving back and culture of encouraging education, Sumana with her business partner Sejal Gehani got involved in many different causes over the years. They then channeled this dedication to service into the creation of Commit2Change: an organization unique in its education-focused mission for young South Asian girls from difficult backgrounds. A mission inspired by their own experiences.\xa0

In this episode, we will unravel the remarkable journey of Commit2Change, exploring the challenges, triumphs, and countless lives impacted along the way. We will hear stories from Sumana and stories about the young girls whose lives have been forever changed by this extraordinary organization.
