- Mentorship Session (30 min): General mentorship
What mentees say
“If you're in doubt about mentorship with Ruchika, go watch her TED talk on how not to grow up. Ruchika is a visionary who 200% leads by example. She dances to her own song, takes risks, and is unapologetically herself. After our session I felt inspired, encouraged, and heard. Ready to spread my creative wings and fly. I highly recommend Ruchika as a mentor!”
“It’s not often that you find someone who is multitalented, passionate, inspiring, and kind. I was at a loss, unsure about the next steps for my creative path, but Ruchika provided practical advice on building a personal brand and growing a small business. She listened to my concerns and questions, and suggested methods to move forward.”
“I had a wonderful and very constructive session with Ruchika. I am an outsider to the art world and, though curious about making and creating more, have imposter syndrome about how to go about that and what it means to have an art practice that means sustainable.”
