Natasha Verma

In 2017 as a rising television anchor, what should have been the most exciting time of Natasha Verma’s life turned into her worst nightmare. She was diagnosed with stage 2 Hodgkin’s lymphoma at the age of 23. After advocating for her health when she was misdiagnosed twice, doctors found tumors on both sides of her body and a mass growing in her chest. Natasha pushed through the physical pain of chemotherapy and emotional devastation of hair loss to create a viable solution for women and children with cancer - cap wigs. Towards the end of treatment, Natasha started making and giving free real hair cap wigs to cancer patients across the United States through her 501(c)(3) non-profit, the Verma Foundation. Helping others at a time when she needed help most was the secret to her recovery. Natasha’s keynote is to show people there’s nothing more powerful than entrepreneurial benevolence. Now on a re-mission, Natasha inspires us with her story of conquering cancer and finding purpose.
