This is Diya.

At age 8, she saw a woman on a

bike. The image stuck in her head.

At age 9, her father took a

shortcut through a one-way and was cut off by a woman driving a car. Even though it was his fault, he muttered, “Lady drivers.” Diya never forgot this.

At age 11, she sat in a plane

piloted by two women. She

waited to meet them after the

flight, and even took a photo

with them!

At age 12, she became the

best cyclist in her society.

She won most races!
