Show Notes

Publishing a book is no joke - especially one that seeks to tell the stories of South Asian women across the world in all different phases of life - young, old, married, single, divorced, taking care of their mothers or mother-in-laws, maintaining friendships or struggling with the loss of them. Untold did what few other books have been able to do before - collect a series of varied experiences and bring them together to representatively try to present a point of view on the experience of growing up South Asian. In this episode, Shabnum sits down with Trisha Sakhuja-Walia, the founder of Brown Girl Magazine, and editors of Untold Kamini Ramdeen-Chowdhury and Gabrielle Deonath. The group talks about the motivations of starting a book, how and why BGM was started, and the lessons they learned in publishing this anthology.
