In this episode of Brown Art Network, Sneha and Keerthi talk with Krishma, author of From Ash to Ashes. This coming-of-age story follows Mira and her immigrant family as they grapple with the stark differences between their traditional Sikh faith and the changing culture of the world around them. As they talk about the various themes in the book, they dive into Krishma's background and how she used her book to grieve the loss of her firstborn. They talk about how culture affects the way we process grief, address mental health concerns, and modernize parenting techniques as we go into the future with dual identities becoming more common than before. They wrap the episode with Krishma's writing career and what she hopes readers take away when reading her book.
