A Patchwork of Identity
In this powerful and deeply personal keynote, Dr. Amrita Sen Mukherjee weaves together stories, reflections, and insights to explore how our identities are not forged in isolation, but stitched together by the invisible hands and hidden figures who shape us — mentors, caregivers, colleagues, friends, and ancestors. A Patchwork of Identity is a celebration of those often-unseen influences: the quiet encouragers, boundary-breakers, and truth-tellers who leave lasting imprints on who we become.
Blending positive psychology with lived experience, Amrita invites us to reflect on the rich, textured layers that make up who we are — and who we are still becoming. This keynote is a call to honour the strength in softness, the value of recognition, and the shared humanity in our interconnected stories.
