Ep. 78: Being an American Desi with educator and children's author Jyoti Rajan Gopal
Manage episode 354734692 series 2674557
So many of us think “Why hasn’t someone created this already?” yet so few go ahead and create it ourselves. My latest guest Jyoti Rajan Gopal is an educator who began writing picture books when she found frustratingly little diverse choices for her kindergarten class. Jyoti taps into her international upbringing and deep experience with young children to create these gems. Having published two beautiful books with loads more in the pipeline, Jyoti shares her publishing journey, starting modeling late in her career and lots more on this fun chat. A must listen, especially for writers and those with young kids in their lives!
