Break the Barrier
Hailing from traditional South Asian roots, I took on a nontraditional path with my passion project missioned to increase representation in mainstream media. Throughout my modeling journey, I've been blessed to be part of modeling campaigns for brands such as Express Fashion and Maison Margiela to walking the runway for New York Fashion Week and covering it as Press.
As I grew my platform, I realized so many of us are hesitant in taking that leap of faith because we don’t have visibility to the mentors or guides that we can look up to, ask questions to, or be our support system. As a result, many of us default to the traditional careers that our parents consider successful - but we may be left feeling unfulfilled. I want to take this mission to the next level and introduce successful and happy powerhouse voices in our community who are breaking barriers by pursuing full-time careers outside of what’s traditionally considered successful.
For our younger, current, and older generations: it is never too late to start again or dream a new dream. My mission is to show in a fun, lighthearted way that you can absolutely find happiness in a path less taken. This is my baby: Break the Barrier

Let’s Talk Startups, Esthetics, and Owning a Spa with Nimrita Chavla, Founder and CEO of NC Skin
I’m so excited to be speaking today with Nimrita Chavla who goes by Nim. She is the founder and CEO of a startup skincare spa called NC Skin located in the Chicagoland area, which she self funded after working for 4 years in corporate finance. During her journey to quit her job and pursue her passion full time, she remembers experiencing countless visits to estheticians and dermatologists and initially gave up hope on someone being able to help her with her skin for her brown skin tone. This is what drew her to this field, and she’s made it her mission to want to be there for any person looking to achieve results with their skin! She especially wants to make herself available to all the brown girls and guys who need a trustworthy estie bestie to help them better understand their skin and use the right skincare products.
In this episode, we will highlight Nim’s journey on how she decided to quit the 9-5 corporate life, how she navigated the challenges of starting her business, and what’s in store for her future. Welcome Nim!
