episode 188: Kindness Is Sharing Stories—Sharing truths about being an author/illustrator, a working mom and a person of colour.

Author/Illustrator, Anoosha Syed joins Anitha to talk about the many aspects of her life. From creating books that showcase underrepresented characters to an honest account of being a working mom to what it’s like to live in the United States as a person of colour.

Anoosha and Anitha also talk about what brought them together—their book, SARI SISTERS. Anitha wrote the words and Anoosha created the art. Normally, authors and illustrators don’t get to meet, but not only did they meet, a lovely friendship was born.
