[blockquote]Relentless struggles make a successful person. Radhika Lee is no exception. Her memoir Rainbows in my clouds is the ballade of her rise - as a young girl - from her displaced dreams to the successful educationist and entrepreneur that she is today in Nairobi. I find the spirit of Radhika’s painful migration from her picturesque tiny village Cherai in Kerala to Nairobi in Africa, in these lines of the African-American poet Gwendoly Brooks, from To the Diaspora: Here’s some sun.

Radhika's break from her partner puts her on a path that gave her meaning but took much time to discover her amazing self, which was there all the time. Radhika's story is inspirational for all us and teaches us to have faith in ourselves and know there is a powerful ‘you’. It takes time as nothing…
