Produced a Special 35 Under 35 Edition

The Problem
As editor-in-chief of Cosmopolitan Sri Lanka, I noticed that young women making waves in their industries weren't celebrated enough. In fact, many believed that 20- and 30-something years olds could not possibly be successful. I wanted to prove them wrong and inspire younger girls and women that anyone can follow their passions.
The Solution
In a special edition (35 Under 35), I identified 35 women under 35 breaking boundaries in their fields, defying the traditional notion that younger women are rarely successful.
I split them into four main groups: builders, innovators, activists, and rulebreakers.
Through individual profiles, my team and I interviewed, photographed, filmed, and crafted stories about these women.
