On Episode 12, my guest is Niharika Shah, who is from Vadodara, Gujarat. She is currently pursuing a double major in economics and English and Creative writing at Emory University. She describes poetry as a means of expression and release, with a focus of directing her work to reach young girls who are fearful of being their unapologetic self. Plus, she is the author of the book, “Strawberries Under Skin” which is recently published with New Degree Press this August. This book will be enjoyable for everyone but most especially those in their late teenage years, early adulthood, transitioning between phases of life.
Niharika Shah's debut book, ‘Strawberries Under Skin’ is now available on Amazon, Kobo and IngramSpark. Order now! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DJY3GYZ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_glt_E58XQ4C7J6MWY2YH55TB
