In this extremely candid and honest conversation, hear about the journey of Ms. Shamim Modi, who was a city girl, but then got engaged passionately in the fight of the Adivasis and workers. From her experiences of working on building a grassroots movement to choosing to enter into electoral politics, Shamim shares very interesting and heart-touching anecdotes from her journey. She also shares how she met the love of her life and got married, the struggles and joy of parenting as an activist and a political person and how she never let her gender or religious identity be a roadblock in her work.

If you are looking at being inspired into a journey of ‘working for the people’ with integrity and passion, this is a must watch conversation, condensing years of wisdom in about an hour.

The Womb team met and spoke to Jochi Amma, a tribal woman and has been curing tribals and people from far off places, of their medical ailments using indigenous medicines. She spoke in Malayalam, and big thanks to Mr. T Sukumaran Nair (Founder of Koomankolly Heritage Retreat, Wayanad, Kerala; Former Managing Director, Kerala State Bamboo Corporation Ltd.; Kerala State Cooperative amongst others) for helping with the translation.

Her approach to health is very holistic and she prefers natural medicines as a cure for all diseases. She is also against exploitation of forest goods for commercial use by big companies.

It is inspiring to hear about her journey, where with little formal education but tonnes of knowledge about the secrets of forests, learnt by her family traditions, she has made a significant difference to the lives of those around her.
