Navixha Bagga Commences First-Ever Saree 5K Walk

PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania – ‘Mind-Style’ Blogger Navixha Bagga recently organized and led the first-ever Saree 5K Walk in the US. “My Saree, My Story – Walking beyond Barriers!” was a euphoric celebration of a woman’s ability to excel in any walk of her life in any outfit of her choice (a saree, in this case), as well as their innate ability to break through socio-economic and culturally driven gender barriers that most women do encounter.  This mission-based landmark event also helped to raise funds for women-centered non-profits, amidst a live flashmob saree zumba as well as a sponsored raffle.

The multi-faceted speaker and social media personality organized the Saree 5K Charity Fundraiser to community acclaim on September 11th. This event focused on supporting women’s leadership as much as deepening cultural understanding of their pivotal role in society and saw Congresswoman Madeleine Dean and anchor Gina Gannon as honored guests. With the first instance of this walk proving an unexpectedly overwhelming success, the Saree 5K is on a trajectory to continue celebrating the accomplishments of women beyond ethnicities and colors. Promoting social justice and critical thinking in the face of injustice, the Saree 5K Charity Fundraiser took ideals and turned them to action and donated all profits to local woman-focused non-profits.

Despite rain partially throughout the walk, the Saree Charity Fundraiser proved to be a magnificent success for sponsors and community members attending, participating, dancing, and celebrating. Though Navixha accomplished this through her lifestyle blog and greater personal conception, Organicize Your Life, she instantly acknowledges this would not have been possible without the support of her ‘tribe’ of women who went the extra mile to support this mission. Kanchan Sardana, Ila Negi, Saila Musunuri, and Mukta Bajia were instrumental as ‘partners in crime’, in providing Navixha the helping hands and partnership required to support an undertaking of this size.
