Well, I've been fascinated by what this single powerful word defy means for a very long time. As a child, I was known for being an obedient daughter and student. And I remember asking my dad, what does my name mean? And he said, in Sanskrit, Sanita means good. And mostly I lived up to that. So I did what I was told, went to school, as expected, did all my homework.

And these were the types of messages I received, not just from parents, but teachers and community. They were to be good, to fit in, obey, not make a fuss, don't question authority.
