From recording thousands of lessons to helping her sons flourish in music and education, her journey offers powerful lessons in resilience, selflessness, and hope. A talk that is sure to uplift, inspire, and leave a lasting impact. Ms. Snehalatha Rajan is a graduate of Mount Carmel College and a certified Music Therapist from the Chennai School of Music Therapy. A former officer at Canara Bank, she took voluntary retirement to devote herself to raising her two specially-abled, musically gifted sons. Her elder son, Roshan, who was visually challenged, earned an MA in English and served in the Military Engineering Services. Her younger son, Ritvik, who is visually and cognitively impaired, is a music prodigy who began singing at the age of two and later taught at DPS Bangalore North. Under her guidance, he completed his education through the National Institute of Open Schooling (NIOS) and earned a Visharad in Hindustani Music, along with distinguished music grades from Trinity College London. Honoured by Asianet, Manipal Hospitals, and the Chief Minister of Karnataka, Ms. Snehalatha’s journey reflects resilience, love, and the transformative power of music and motherhood. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community. Learn more at https://www.ted.com/tedx
