She still sings beautifully, plays several instruments and writes songs. But what we dwell on is her love of words, in poetry, in writing, in teaching. How did she navigate the duality of teaching English in the public school system and homeschooling her daughter in parallel? We round out 2021 with our last chai and chat of the year.

Her passion is to make a difference! Join us for a cup of masala chai (ginger optional) as we chat with Esha about her childhood in India and how it has shaped her view of the world.
