Winner of the She Writes Press and SparkPress Toward Equality in Publishing contest, Veena Rao, knows what it's like to have to start life over from scratch.

Purple Lotus, is a beautiful story personalizing the immigrant experience with a universal message: there’s hope even if you feel inadequate, powerless, fearful.

S6E2: How To Break Through with Nicole D. Vick A college professor, community activist, and public health advocate, Nicole D. Vick published her first book, a memoir, called Pushing Through: Finding The Light In Every Lesson. She shares both the heartbreaking pain and the extraordinary triumphs that led her to advocacy and social justice work. Her story takes place against the background of the long-neglected and overlooked community of South-Central Los Angeles, where she grapples with the grotesque imbalance of power and privilege as it unfolds in every aspect of her life and those around her. It’s an inspiring story of triumph and purpose.

Her collection of short stories bring a cultural richness and elegant approach to discussing heartache, violence, and the hard choices women are often faced with as they find their place in society while trying to hold true to cultural traditions. We also discuss how she overcame her fear of writing to become an accomplished writer. Plus, the many contradictions in our ideas about love.
