Humans are "Limited Edition" because each of us is unique and special in our own way. Our genetic makeup, life experiences, and personal perspectives create a distinct combination that cannot be replicated. Even identical twins have subtle differences that make them individuals.
Furthermore, we have the ability to learn, grow, and change throughout our lives. Our experiences shape us and help us develop skills, talents, and passions that are specific to us. No two people have the exact same set of skills, talents, and experiences.
Additionally, our capacity for creativity and innovation is unparalleled. We have the ability to imagine, design, and create things that have never existed before. Our creative potential is limitless, and it is what sets us apart from all other species.
In short, we are "Limited Edition" because no one else is like us in the world. Our unique combination of genetic traits, life experiences, skills, talents, and creative potential makes us one-of-a-kind.

Zehn Kashyap

Student
She is an internationally published writer, award winning speaker and an advocate for destigmatizing disability. Her resilience in the face of adversity, relentless drive to persevere and passion to excel have helped her overcome considerable challenges very early in her life. Not only, did she not let these challenges define her, rather she decided to use her voice to speak up and speak out for those less privileged than herself. She has evolved into a staunch advocate for different-ness, mental health and diversity. Inspired by her own experiences, she has advocated for and driven programs around these causes close to her heart – Destigmatizing disability, Mental Health and Girl and Women Rights, specifically in the context of disability. She feels that these conversations must be had, often, at all levels and starting young; and she hopes to be the one leading these.
