Behind The Cancer Ribbon

Rinaa Peter is a weaver of stories, a seeker of beauty, and a believer in second chances. The co-founder of Arivaa Group and founder of Arivaa Lifestyle, an online magazine devoted to the art of living well through interiors and architecture, she has spent her life capturing the quiet poetry of spaces and the silent strength of dreams. Her years at Livingetc India, part of the esteemed Malayala Manorama Group, shaped not just her craft but her way of seeing the world. Her love for stories spills into the pages of her chil-dren's books, The Magical Adventures of Luna and Leo and Bedtime Adventures: Where Dreams Begin and Imagination Takes Flight, both of which have touched young hearts with wonder and possibility. Her words have graced publications like Champak, Dainik Bhaskar, The Childrens Magazine and Hin-dimedia, each story stitched with care, longing, and light. A two-time breast cancer survivor, the author carries her scars not as wounds but as emblems of survival.

For her contributions to literature, design, and advocacy, the author has been honored with the Most Outstanding Woman of the Year and Most Influential Woman of the Year awards acknowl-edgments not just of her achievements but of her resilience, her heart. Today, she writes, she dreams, and she hopes for beauty, healing, and more sunrises. Because the author knows the most powerful stories are not the ones that avoid the dark but the ones that carry a lamp through it.
