I am so excited to share a video I did that was posted by the Get Lit! Festival – sadly the in-person festival got canceled due to, well you know, but writers are posting up pieces they would have shared. In mine, I am reading an older work called ‘Sonali Exchange’ and talking about how to create presence/connection even though it’s through a screen. I wanted to repost the whole video, but it goes over the size limit for IG (and for this site!) so below are some fun stills of me doing an exercise with the audience before reading my piece. Go see the whole thing over on the Get Lit! Festival page (@getlitfestival on IG) or at this link.

A text version of this piece is available at TALK Mag.
