A WEEK OF IDEAS AND CONNECTIONS
The week will unfold as follows, with each day centered on a unique theme.

What’s a Rich Text element?
The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.
Static and dynamic content editing
A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!
How to customize formatting for each rich text
Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
Madhura Ghane, aka Mahi G, is a rapper and poet from the Sahyadri ranges in Ahilyanagar, Maharashtra. She uses her voice to spotlight raw, real, and often ignored issues, with her rap reflecting the pulse of the people - from environmental justice to tribal identity and gender inclusivity.
Her debut track “Jungle Cha Raja” (produced by RFM Studios with music by Rapboss) became an anthem celebrating the spirit and struggles of Adivasi communities. The song resonated widely, earning recognition from artists like Badshah, Vishal Dadlani, Raftaar, Dia Mirza, and IncIndia. Rooted in themes of Jal, Jungle, Zameen, it refuses pity and instead celebrates resilience.
Since then, Mahi G has written and performed on subjects ranging from the Hijra community and the Hasdeo jungle protest to rape culture and the destructive obsession with development. For her, rap is more than entertainment — it is activism, storytelling, and truth-telling.
As she often says: “रैप तो एक जरिया है, हम बदलते विचार प्रकृति से प्यार करो, यह करते है प्रचार।” Her mission is clear: to awaken youth, shift mindsets, and remind everyone that caring for the earth and each other is more powerful than any trend.
