Linda Fernandes, in her talk “The Influencers Guide: Building Long-Term success with consistency and resilience, stressed on how students should take life’s ups and downs in their stride and focus on what truly matters in their life and not on fancy nothings which do not last long. She told them that their main focus should be their education and their future goals. She narrated her life journey as a content creator and how she made use of the wit and humour that she always had and friends and well wishers who encouraged her to take it forward in a big way and make a lot of people happy with her unique sense of humour. She felt that humour is a niche that all people relate to. In April 2023 she won the Best Influencer Award, and later in the category of Mom Blogger-comedy and entertainment. She said it was an uphill journey though as she had good times as well as bad times. But all this is a part and parcel of an influencers life. She has collaborations with brands like Star Bharath, ,Realme and Ponds to name a few.
She advised students not to get disheartened by negatitivity. It’s not the likes but the content that matters.” Be authentic, Be real and know the difference between constructive criticism and trolling” she said. She was open to questions, and students enthusiastically asked her many questions, which she answered with great patience and humility.
The other dignitaries present were the principal, Sr Dr Venissa AC, PG coordinator Sr Dr Vinora AC, administrator Sr Carmel Rita AC, vice principal Sr Roopa Rodrigues AC, members of the IQAC, faculty of UG and PG and student leaders of both UG and PG courses of study. Dr Kavyashree, dean, PG proposed a vote of thanks.
