Weaving Dreams in Conflict, Couture & Cheese. | Insha S.Qazi | TEDxSGGSCC

Insha S Qazi stands as a rare voice of hope, resilience, and innovation from a region often associated with unrest. Her journey is not only a personal triumph but a powerful example of how one woman can turn conflict into creativity and isolation into inspiration. She is an ideal speaker for the TEDx stage—boldly representing the intersection of tradition, transformation, and global relevance. Insha S Qazi is a visionary entrepreneur from Kashmir, breaking barriers to empower youth and women through creativity and sustainability. She founded the region’s first private fashion design college, mentoring students who’ve showcased their work nationally. Her culturally immersive homestay, celebrating Kashmiri heritage, was named one of India’s best by Condé Nast Traveller. Insha also champions organic farming and hyperlocal living, earning national accolades, including recognition from the Prime Minister of India. Her work blends tradition with innovation, preserving indigenous practices while promoting ecological well-being. Insha is a catalyst for change, transforming Kashmir’s narrative through education, culture, and conscious living. 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
