Emotional Literacy through Storytelling

About Me

Growing up in India taught me the power of rich storytelling and warmth of the community. Later, moving across borders showed me firsthand how to navigate displacement, adapt to profound change, and carry the weight of transitions.
Today, I bring those experiences into my work as an author and emotional literacy facilitator.
I don’t believe in hiding from heavy topics, nor do I believe in over-complicating them. I write books and step into classrooms to give children the understanding and words they need to feel seen today so they can walk forward as resilient and compassionate adults tomorrow. Know more…

I invite you to explore my books and sessions.
