Join me for an afternoon of conversation and reflection. 

We’ll talk about my journey—from working in factories in Nepal to becoming a school counselor in New York—and the experiences that shaped my memoir, A Fight for a Cup of Chai, along with my first novella, which quietly mirrors that journey. 

This will not be a formal reading, but an open space for dialogue—about labor, resilience, and the small, often unseen moments that shape our lives. 

Books will be available, and I’d be glad to connect and speak with you.

Come by, grab some amazing food, and let’s connect. Hope to see you there.
