Episode 85: Puja Shah

For author and philanthropist Puja Shah, writing has a way of teaching her things about herself she didn't know before. Listen in as Puja discusses how she found story and inspiration in Uganda, the ways Toni Morrison motivated Puja to work within social justice and writing, what witnessing an educator challenging the system did for her, why the scariest part about writing is also the most exciting part about writing, surpise: the arts aren't safe, what carving out time to write means for her, cutting characters from one story but using them in other stories, the ability to write from anywhere when in the writing zone, and so much more.
