L’Oréal Paris to Honor Two Indian American Philanthropists for Igniting Positive Change in Community

L’Oréal Paris has announced that two Indian American philanthropists, Hetal Jani and Shreyaa Venkat, are among ten ‘2019 Women of Worth’ honorees, who will be awarded $10,000 towards their worthy causes.

These women represent a range of causes, including empowering at-risk teenage girls, supporting survivors of conversion therapy and helping parents of children with learning disabilities to navigate the special education system, said L’Oréal.

“Inspired by the L’Oréal Paris tagline, “Because You’re Worth It,” the philanthropic Women of Worth program honors the “intrinsic worth of everyday women igniting positive change in their communities and championing self-worth in others,” said the company.

Jani of Queens, New York, is the founding executive director of SPEAK Mentorship, which stands for Support Prepare Empower Aspiring Kids. The organization works towards advancing diversity in leadership through college and career preparedness, mentoring immigrant girls on cultural identity, career trajectory and gender association.” Read more here…
