In the words of Sheeba Gollapalli “I have never wanted to tie myself down to any one path or career, and I have taken many journeys. I engage in a variety of activities, but no matter what, each endeavor ignites something inside me and I tackle it with the utmost passion and dedication. The prejudice and violence against women and girls persist in every profession, notwithstanding significant progress made there. As a result, I hope to advance women's feeling of self-worth and give them the power to make their own decisions and have a voice in social change that benefits both them and other people.” Be it Social Work or Politics, either way, we can bring a change to the community is what I feel.
