i AM  a PUBLISHED  AUTHOR!

1/12/2021

 
Proud to say that my nonfiction piece has been published by Brown Girl Magazine and Mango & Marigold Press. My piece was incredibly hard to write, but I wanted to share my experience and let others know that they're not alone in having experienced profound loss, death, grief, sorrow and pain.

The book is called Untold: Defining Moments of the Uprooted. The book features nonfiction pieces written by South Asian women (and identifying women) of diverse backgrounds, faiths, and upbringings, including Indians, Pakistanis, Bangladeshis, Sri Lankans, along with Hindus, Muslims, Sikhs, Buddhists, etc. and Indo-Caribbean diaspora from Trinidad and Tobago, Guyana, etc.

You may pre-order a copy here. 


Thank you and be sure to subscribe, like and follow/share!!

Love you all!

I am excited to announce that I have been asked to be a curator and presenter for the 2021 REELPoetry Film Festival which is based in Houston, Texas! What an incredible opportunity. However, due to the ongoing pandemic, the festival will be held virtually instead of in person in Houston. I will present a series of my own works, alongside a curated series of poetry videos by other artists that I will curate. More info will come soon. Be sure to tuned in!

Festival will be held online on February 24-28, 2021.

MY  NEW  PUBLISHED  STORY  COMING  OUT !

7/24/2020

 
My non-fiction piece "Amor Indocumentado" (Undocumented Love) is published in this Young Adult Anthology, which is being published by Brown Girl Magazine and Mango & Marigold Press. It releases on January 2021, and over 400 copies have already pre-sold!

"untold: defining moments of the uprooted" is a collection of real stories that explores the South Asian experience in the U.S., U.K., and Canada through the lens of identity, being, and relationships. Thirty emerging voices share deeply personal moments of immigration, infertility, divorce, mental health, suicide, racism, colorism, LGBTQIA+ issues, and more all while balancing the push and pull of belonging to two cultural hemispheres. Every story sheds light on the authentic truths of living as womxn with hyphenated identities that have been only whispered-until now.

ONWARD   TO   2020 !!!

1/31/2020

 
I've been offline for about a year to do some self-reflection and soul searching. I also took a huge break from the arts to relax and focus on personal relationships in my life. 

In the meanwhile, I have an exciting new collaboration with Brown Girl Magazine coming soon, my short non-fiction piece will be published in their anthology. 

I am also working with a St. Louis non-profit organization to perform a piece for the April 2020 concert fundraiser on Earth Day to raise funds for a new environmentally-conscious collective school and building to be constructed in St. Louis, Missouri. I will post more information when available. 

I plan to perform Allah Earth: The Cycle of Life again and will accept bookings or inquiries. 

2019 achievements: 

Being a selected participant at the HowlRound Deaf Theatre conference in Boston in the spring of 2019. 

Wild Whispers: New Mexico was selected to screen at Garifuna Indigenous International Film Festival in Los Angeles in the summer of 2019.

Wild Whispers: New Mexico was also specially selected as part of Blow-Up International Arthouse Film Festival in Chicago in the fall of 2019. 

Thanks for your support!

Have a great 2020!!!

I was given an award by the jury panel at Lady Filmmakers Film Festival for my sign-language short poetry film Deaf Brown Gurl. It was selected as a Jury Award. I was flabbergasted and floored but I feel so incredibly lucky and proud. I love to make movies and it always feels so good to receive some sort of validation from a group of industry professionals who have worked in Hollywood for many years.

I had an incredible opportunity to speak to students at California State University-Northridge in Los Angeles today.

I feel lucky to share my voice with others.
