EP 224: Nidhi Chanani’s (turned) many pages

Written By Modern Minorities

“So many kids wanna be artists - they wanna make comics. How powerful is it for me to say that whatever you imagine and whatever you want to pursue, you can do that?”

Nidhi Chanani an Indian-American freelance illustrator, cartoonist and writer. Nidhi’s debut graphic novel Pashmina won ALL the awards, but her diverse body of work - from Jukebox, Binny’s Diwali, the Shark Princess series (a personal favorite of Raman’s  daughter), and October’s forthcoming of Super Boba Café -  will not just just blow you away, but also move you. Basically if you’ve got a kid or are a kid at heart, you should be reading Nidhi’s work.  Nidhi’s story is almost as amazing as her take on work and life, we’ve become fans of not just her work - but her approach to community. She’s such a nerd about storytelling and art - and her place in it - and you’ll definitely get the vibe from this chat that you're hearing old friends talk for the first time.
