Jordan and Me

Natural ElementsLots of things inspire people to write. Books are foremost for me as well as my community and my educational background. But my daughter Jordan was the one for my debut novel Natural Elements. Unlike the character in the story, Jordan has never had to question her identity or face racial abuse from family members, but there are those who have. I wanted to create a story that reflects the racism that not only happens in India, but around the world against people of a darker hue. Jordan is the face of diversity and so are many others who need a voice to represent them.
