Join me in this lively conversation with Raakhee Mirchandani, a journalist, children's book author, podcast host, and passionate community advocate.
Raakhee shares her journey growing up as a brown girl in America, her experiences as a children’s book author, and her advice for aspiring writers. We dive into her creative process, marketing a book, tips for cultivating a love of reading in kids, and how to show up authentically on social media.👧🏽
Her books, such as Hair Twins, Super Satya Saves the Day, My Diwali Light, and Journey to the Stars educate young readers and parents about the richness of South Asian culture while fostering a love for reading. Through relatable characters and narratives, she amplifies cultural stories and values, helping children see themselves reflected in literature. 📖 ❤️
With a background in journalism, Raakhee has contributed to top publications like the New York Post, Elle, Glamour, and The Wall Street Journal. She’s also the host of the "Brown Mom" podcast, where she discusses life as a brown woman in America.📚 ✍️
The New Jersey-born daughter of immigrants, Raakhee is a proud supporter of many nonprofits, serving on the boards of the Tomorrows Children's Fund, the Hoboken Public Library, Stevens Cooperative School, and the Children’s Book Council.🌟
