Author, entrepreneur, cook and trailblazing champion of women across the globe, Pinky Lilani might just have done it all. In this episode of Show Me the Way, Pinky shares with me her newly-published memoirs, ‘Some Kind of Wonderful’, which weaves together her remarkable career journey with recipes, anecdotes and testimonies from friends.
From cooking in bookstores to having dinner at Buckingham Palace, Pinky shares remarkable and personal stories of how determination and courage can yield amazing opportunities and unexpected friendships. We discuss the lessons she’s learnt across her career, the importance of celebrating female achievement and how to connect with one another with kindness and authenticity.
Pinky is the founder and chair of multiple awards celebrating influential women, including the Asian Women of Achievement Awards and the Women of the Future Awards. She is also an Indian cooking expert, having authored two cookbooks and worked as a development consultant for major food companies. For her work in female advocacy, she has won a lifetime achievement at the CBI First Women Awards, been named on BBC Radio 4’s 100 Most Powerful Women in the UK, featured on Desert Island Discs and received an OBE and CBE.
Today, she leads an international network of female advocacy, helping women connect, share their expertise and help one another succeed. Her work helps celebrate female talent, break down cultural stereotypes and inspire the next generation of women. Her recommendation for Emmeline’s bookshelf is also a wonderful choice for this.
