The documentary of Pasang Lhamu Sherpa inspires me deeply because she was my mom’s aunt. My mom, who is a trekking guide herself, always admired her and even had the chance to trek alongside her. She is not just a family hero she’s an inspiration for women everywhere to stay strong and never give up, no matter the challenges or discrimination they face


This documentary inspires me because it shows the everyday life of Sherpas: their hard work, culture, and close bond with the mountains.


This playlist i created inspires me because it’s filled with Sherpa songs that my mom introduced me to. These are the songs we hear at our cultural events and they always remind me of home, family, and the beauty of our traditions.
