I work in the technology sector in the US and have a Doctorate in Chemistry (Cornell University). But I am mostly a social activist and writer. My blog posts, op-eds, poems, and stories are in effort to provoke thoughts, especially towards issues concerning women and social justice. I am a contributor (past and present) to several popular e-zines incl. The Huffington Post US, The Logical Indian, Youth Ki Awaaz, Tribune India, Women’s Web, Thrive Global and Cafe Dissensus (where I author a social satire segment called Black Light). My literary resume includes poems and stories featured in national and international magazines (Words Pauses and Noises, UK; TUCK, Glimmer Train Honorable mention) as well as inclusion in seven anthologies such as Defiant Dreams (Oprah 2016 reading list placeholder) and The Best Asian Short Stories 2017 (published out of Singapore by Kitaab). My first single author book is From An-Other Land (Dec, 2018, Readomania publishing). I am also the founder and director of Her Rights (www.herrights.website), a 501(3) c non-profit committed to furthering the cause of gender equality and I frequently speak on human rights, social justice, and diversity and inclusion in corporate and non-profits panels.
